Few thoroughfares offer as rich a history as Louisiana's River Road between New Orleans and Baton Rouge. In this third edition of her extremely popular guide, Along the River Road, Mary Ann Sternberg provides a revised introduction, new images, and updated information on sites and attractions as well as tales and local lore about favorite and overlooked destinations. Featuring background information about the area and a detailed guided tour -- upriver on the east bank and downriver along the west -- the book gives an overview of the River Road, serving as an accessible and definitive companion to exploring the corridor. Sternberg's abiding appreciation of the area's allure, garnered over twenty years, produces a must-have travel companion to a place that far exceeds its common reputation as only a parade of elegant antebellum mansions. In this new edition, she again encourages travelers to experience the many treasures of this wondrous byway for themselves, so they too can see how much it has changed over the past decade.

Few thoroughfares - indeed, few places - in America are as rich in history as Louisiana's Mississippi River Road between New Orleans and Baton Rouge. Yet for many travelers, traces of that rich past, veiled by time and change, are fru stratingly difficult to discern. No more: in Along the River Road, Mary Ann Sternberg has written the definitive guide to this fabled route, revealing the history that lies hidden all up and down it. The River Road - actually two roads, one on each side of the Mississippi River - dates to the early decades of French colonization. Among the first Europeans to settle the area were hopeful Germans lured in the 1720s by the sheen of John Law's "Mississippi Bubble". Later, the Acadians found a home here after their long diaspora. In the antebellum era, great plantations lined the riverbanks and sugar barons vied in building opulent mansions. Battles were fought here - French against Indian, Spaniard against Briton, American in blue against American in gray. Here too, in 1811, erupted the largest slave uprising in North American history. Catastrophes of other kinds were all too frequent: floods, hurricanes, epidemics of yellow fever and cholera, navigational disasters on the river. In more recent times, a line of giant petro-chemical and other industrial plants has produced the greatest change since settlement, refiguring the landscape and many of the old ways of life.

A River Road Memoir is a journey through a young girl's idyllic childhood in the rural South to her restless adolescence when the Civil Rights struggle becomes urgent and personal to her family. The unfolding story is told through the second daughter's eyes. Jane is a serious child, the one her father calls, "a tree full of owls," always thinking, observing, wondering about meanings. Jane is three when the Goettes move into an old house on River Road, bordered by pastures and sugarcane fields with the Mississippi River in front. Invisible threads of history form the tapestry of a story that began before her birth when her mother and father's families fought on opposite sides of the American Civil War. Unresolved conflicts continue around the family table as the Civil Rights movement evolves, the Vietnam War begins, and chemical plants spring like poison mushrooms along the river. Set in the 1950s and 1960s, the conflicts reflected in this book are hauntingly familiar to readers today as Americans continue to battle over the nation's identity and values. JANE GOETTE, Louisiana native, is a teacher, writer and mother of three. She resides in Virginia.

Ben is a man on the move - in bars, in night clubs and in seedy pubs down Nairobi's River Road, where he meets Wini, a single mother trying to make it in the big city. They live together as man and wife until Wini escapes abroad with her employer leaving him the burden of bringing up her baby son. When Ben joins up with Ocholla, his bar-crawling, construction-site friend, life goes from strange to bizarre. Mwangi's treatment of the serious situation makes and unforgettable impact. MEJA MWANGI, the acclaimed author of "Going Down River Road," "The Cockroach Dance" and "Kill Me Quick," is an eclectic writer whose fascination with stories has created such varied works as "Bush Doctor," "Crossroads," "Carcase for Hounds," "Rafiki" and "Christmas Without Tusker" among others.

In River Road: A Mississippiad, author Robert Bense takes his readers on a journey back and forth through time as he contemplates the meanings of the great river. At once communal and intensely personal, the stories these poems convey wash over us and push us forward into our own memories and dreams. "Robert Bense's River Road is a masterwork....There's something of Dante in this book's exemplary scope, humility, and temerity--its will to frame an image that will hold and reflect our vanishing lives."
