Artistry of Louisiana Decoy Carvers presents decoys, old and contemporary and made by Louisiana carvers, as museum-quality art. With stunning photographs and detailed descriptions, the book illustrates the three basic types of decoys in full-size as well as miniature. An informative chapter on hunting decoys carved by Louisiana's Old Masters highlights pieces from the largest and best private collection in the state, while another features miniature replicas in the style of the Old Masters made by a number of Louisiana's best contemporary carvers. Novice collectors will find guidance here, as well as an essay by Louisiana's preeminent decoy authority that offers invaluable advice to collectors of Louisiana decoys of all experience levels. Most importantly, this book discusses the existential threats to decoy carving in Louisiana and offers concrete suggestions for saving this unique and culturally important artform from extinction.

The carved bird decoy is the only truly American folk art - for the decoy as an aid to hunting was devised by the American Indians and has grown as a useful art since the days of the colonists. Decoy-carving was developed and refined to such a degree that now early and well-carved birds are prized by collectors. This book, full of stunning photographs, shows the best examples from both public and private collections, and gives the reader an idea of the great range, vigor, and variety of the birds. There are sandpipers, curlews, ducks, geese, swans, gulls, herons, crows, loons, and many others - (loons, being wary, were used as confidence birds). Along with the birds are explanations of the highly varied and ingenious methods of construction.

Blacks may have had a hard history on this land of the free. But they have never stepped back or just stayed on the sides while the world continues turning. In their own simple ordinary ways, they have made extraordinary contributions of works that benefitted society until today. In appreciation and recognition of some remarkable Black Louisianians, author Norman R. Smith honors them with the release of his newly published book, Footprints of Black Louisiana. Black men and women are proud of their heritage and they only want a chance to prove their worth to society. The author’s collection unveils a mass of great Black Louisianians and he tells who they are and what they have done to make America a better place. He invites the reader to follow the Footprints of Black Louisiana as he spotlights: Black activist, philanthropists, civic and political leaders, businessmen, educators, religious leaders, musical, visual and literary artists, entertainers, scientists, inventors, medical professionals, and others who have made long lasting contribution to the world. This collection features distinct images of landmarks and significant buildings erected through the efforts of Black Louisianians.

Louisiana's Chenier Plain is a 2,200-square-mile region of marshes and oak-covered ridges (cheniers) that stretches along the Gulf of Mexico from Sabine Lake to Vermilion Bay. Its inhabitants, some 6,000 people of Cajun and other ancestries, retain strong economic and cultural ties to the land and its teeming wildlife. They call it paradise...but it is a vulnerable paradise. In this multifaceted study, Gay Gomez explores the interaction of the land, people, and wildlife of the Chenier Plain, revealing both the uniqueness of the region and the challenges it faces. After describing the geography and history of the Chenier Plain, Gomez turns to the lifeways of its people. Drawing on their words and stories, she tells how the chenier dwellers combine modern occupations with traditional pursuits such as alligator and waterfowl hunting, fur trapping, and fishing. She shows how these traditions of wildlife use provide both economic incentives for conservation and a source of personal and place identity. This portrait of a "working wetland" reveals how wildlife use and appreciation can give rise to a stewardship that balances biological, economic, and cultural concerns in species and habitat protection.
