Germans Of Louisiana

Though Louisiana's French and Spanish roots are well documented, it comes as a surprise to many that there were significant German settlements along the Mississippi River beginning in 1724. In the years before the Civil War, an estimated 12 percent of the New Orleans population was German. This book details the historic sites, settlement patterns, and important individuals whose influence is felt even today.Merrill, Ellen is the author of 'Germans Of Louisiana', published 2004 under ISBN 9781589802445 and ISBN 1589802446.
