Bøker av Florence M. Jumonville

In 1925, Essae Martha Culver, a California librarian, arrived in Louisiana to direct a three-year project funded by the Carnegie Corporation that aimed to introduce public libraries to rural populations. This volume chronicles the impressive, colourful history of Louisiana parish libraries and the State Library of Louisiana.

From the accounts of 18th-century travellers to the interpretations of 21st-century historians, Jumonville lists more than 6800 books, chapters, articles, theses, dissertations, and government documents that describe the rich history of America's 18th state.
