Through the years, the people of Baton Rouge have weathered travails while developing a unique culture and city. Baton Rouge has seen occupation during the Civil War, the destruction by fire and reconstruction of the State Capitol, catastrophic flooding, and political and civil conflict--but also the economic impact of a growing port, the historic arrivals of Louisiana State University and Southern University, and the joyful rituals of Saturday football and the Washington's Birthday Firemen's Parade.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTelling the city's story in words and vivid black and white images, \u003cem\u003eHistoric Photos of Baton Rouge\u003c\/em\u003e documents 100-plus years in the life of the \"Red Stick\" as only the camera can capture it--one engaging image at a time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 202\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.75 x 8.5 x 8.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e October 15, 2008\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51760217325856,"sku":"9781684420179","price":46.42,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/23131015560d13ca8e1d9576c3442998.webp?v=1780174777","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/historic-photos-of-baton-rouge-hardcover","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
