Louisiana Highway One

'From the dark, rich, cypress-shaded bayousides to the red dirt hills and piney woods along the way, LA 1 takes travelers 436 miles from Grand Isle and the Gulf of Mexico to the Ark-La-Tex border northwest of bustling Shreveport. Author Anne Butler and photographer Henry Cancienne serve as tour guides as they introduce the communities La 1 crosses, which represent almost every culture that has spiced up Louisiana's gumbo heritage and history' --Cover, p. 2.
