A Few Rice Recipes. Respectfully Dedicated to Madam Good Housekeeper by The Rice Association of America

19116877Crowley La: The Association; Printed by Signal Printing Co 1911. Small booklet 14.75 x 9 cm. 20 pages. Illustration. Printer from page 1. Date range of publication determined from internal and external evidence. Cover title: The World Food Rice: Eaten By All Peoples Adapted to All Climes. ~ Evident FIRST EDITION. An attractive collection of recipes from Cajun Country or Acadiana as it has been dubbed since the 1960s intended for distribution by mail upon request and designed to promote the consumption of rice. A memento too of a particular feat of capitalist engineering leading to the emergence of a state-of-the-art agricultural industry. Includes hints for boiling and seasoning and testimony regarding nutrition supplied by the United States Department of Agriculture. Among the twenty entries: Rice Gumbo Soup Red Beans and Rice Rice Jambalaya Daube with Rice Rice Waffles Rice Custard. ~ The so-called Rice Belt along the Gulf assumed its profile during the era when risiculture in the Carolinas and Georgia was declining above all in the decades following the Civil War. Most of the rice long cultivated on plantations of the South Atlantic had been for export to the United Kingdom and northern Europe â€“ rice had never been a staple of the American diet â€“ but competition there from developing Asian markets devastated the South Atlantic trade. Meanwhile a number of planters in the Gulf discerned cost advantages to shifting focus from sugar cane to rice. And in a fateful coincidence by the mid-1880s the entire region began to attract the attention of agronomists and entrepreneurs from the Midwest a significant number of them from or educated in Iowa looking to invest in the sparsely populated coastal prairie and especially in the southwestern third of Louisiana that is the twenty or so parishes inhabited chiefly by francophone Acadians. ~ But their project would need to include an expansion of the domestic market. Cooperative arrangements between corporate land speculators settlement recruiters and commercial promoters virtually invented a new industry out of whole cloth uniting the interests of farmers millers and the burgeoning railroads the overview on which this outline leans is that by Peter Coclanis â€œWhite Rice: The Midwestern Origins of the Modern Rice Industry in the United Statesâ€ Rice: Global Networks and New Histories edited by Francesca Bray et al. New York: Cambridge University Press 2015 pages 291-317. A Few Rice Recipes is but one document then of a coordinated regime of marketing pamphlets newspaper notices farm-show exhibits and sightseeing tours designed to advertise the benefits of rice consumption beyond the immediate orbit of Cajun Country. Not only did initiatives of largely Midwestern origin succeed in transforming the economy of southwestern Louisiana but they also attracted government-funded support in the guise of experimental agriculture stations â€“ evident here in quotations from reports by the Department of Agriculture. The Rice Association of America finally was one of the trade cooperatives organized in the 1890s by Seaman Knapp 1833-1911 a native of New York who had moved to Iowa in his youth to farm and to promote the interests of large-tract agriculture. Soon enough it would spawn the Rice Millersâ€™ Association which remains one of the oldest United States agribusiness trade groups in continuous operation. ~ Among the Iowans Knapp lured to Louisiana was the president of the Association whose name heads the list of officers on page 1 of A Few Rice Recipes George Hathaway 1853-1935. He was elected in April 1910 but the span of months for the bookletâ€™s appearance in print can be narrowed: a quotation from the September 1910 issue of the national newspaper Leslieâ€™s Weekly occupies page 2; and the untimely death of Henry Kahn a vice-president listed on page 1 was reported in newspaper notices to have occurred on 16 March 1911. ~ In stapled wrappers with an illustration on the front panel depicting a girl nestled amongst rice culms and perched atop a globe showing the rice belt at its center. A bit of light rubbing to the wrappers; a small adhesion mark to the top of the rear panel otherwise very good. Unrecorded. OCLC locates no copies; not in Brown Cagle or Uhler.

1973209341973. Archive of four press photographs produced between 1973 and 1976 documenting inmate life prison reform efforts and conditions within Orleans Parish Prison in New Orleans Louisiana a carceral institution whose origins extended back to the antebellum era and the policing of enslaved African Americans. The material documents systems of incarceration and institutional control through visual and textual evidence revealing recreational programs women's detention facilities inmate education initiatives and efforts to address violence within one of the nation's most criticized prison systems. Built in 1837 the prison historically functioned both as a municipal jail and as a site of punishment for enslaved people where imprisoned Black individuals could be subjected to whipping solitary confinement and deprivation. By the twentieth century the institution had become nationally associated with overcrowding violence and inmate abuse generating lawsuits and public scrutiny over prison conditions. These photographs provide primary-source evidence for the study of incarceration race prison reform and the lived experience of prisoners in the American South during the post-Civil Rights era. Archive consists of four black-and-white silver gelatin press photographs each approximately 8 x 10 inches many retaining original press captions or pasted articles on the verso or printed margins. One 1973 photograph depicts two Black inmates playing pool inside a sparse recreation area containing a single billiards table surrounded by concrete walls and rows of metal lockers illustrating the limited recreational infrastructure available to prisoners. A 1974 image captures two inmates identified as Perry Nelson and DeLyons boxing within an outdoor prison ring while correctional officers and inmates observe nearby; the accompanying article discusses prison efforts to channel inmate violence into organized athletic programming intended to improve morale and reduce assaults. A 1975 photograph shows a barefoot female inmate awaiting trial inside a dimly lit cell decorated with greeting cards small personal items and a cross placed on a shelf overhead while the accompanying article references public criticism and reforms intended to improve conditions for incarcerated women.

The archive reflects broader national debates surrounding incarceration and prison reform during the 1970s when increasing public attention focused on prison violence racial inequality within the criminal justice system and rehabilitation initiatives following the Attica uprising and other prison protests. Orleans Parish Prison became emblematic of deteriorating urban jail systems in the United States particularly regarding the treatment of poor and predominantly African American inmates. These photographs preserve both the punitive realities of the institution and the emergence of educational and rehabilitative efforts within the prison environment. Minor edge wear and occasional editor's markings. Very good condition overall. Historically significant visual record of incarceration race and reform efforts within one of the most notorious prison systems in the American South. unknown

Barataria Bay to Terrebonne Bay

192041180Washington D.C.: Published by the United States Coast and Geodetic Survey 1920. Large folding nautical chart printed on heavy paper stock. Uncolored. A rare original coastal survey of Barataria Bay area and includes Grand Isle and other barrier islands Fifi island Grande Terre Island Port Fourchon and Terrebone Bay. Established by President Thomas Jefferson in 1807 as the Survey of the Coast the U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey was the United States' first civilian scientific agency. This agency has followed its mission to survey the U.S. coastline create nautical charts of the coast and help increase maritime safety since its founding and has often played fascinating roles in significant chapters of U.S. history. It served in all theaters of the Civil War in the service of the Union Army and Navy pioneered acoustic exploration in the wake of the sinking of the Titanic and during WWI it worked to detect enemy submarines. In addition this agency worked to survey and produce detailed maps and renderings of the U.S. coast. These nautical survey maps commonly referred to as "T-sheets" provide fascinating insights into the history of the United States coastline which has and will continue to shift. These maps are the most important data source for understanding the physical and ecological characteristics of the U.S. shoreline. The present map of the Louisiana coastline is notable for the inclusion of Grand Isle the only inhabited barrier isle of Louisiana and for the Barataria Bay which was frequented by many pirates including Privateer Jean Lafitte. It is worth noting how much of the geography has shifted in this delicate environment in the 100 years since this map was produced. It is a highly detailed and accurate sea chart of the Barataria Bay Area and an important historical view of the developing Louisiana.
