192041182Washington D.C.: Published by the United States Coast and Geodetic Survey 1920. Large folding nautical chart printed on heavy paper stock. Colored. A rare original coastal survey of coast between Louisiana and Mississippi and includes Lake Borgne Lake Ponchartrain the Mississippi Sound St Louis Bay Cat Island Long Beach and Gulfport.<br/> <br/> 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 is notable for its inclusion of Gulfport as it was gridded in 1920 and Cat Island a barrier island used for an undercover WWII program Dogs for Defense. Cat Island was chosen as the training camp dedicated to a specialized training program based off the untrue belief that dogs could differentiate humans by smell based on their cultural heritage. The top secret program attempted to train dogs to track and attack Japanese soldiers in the Pacific Theater and was held at Cat Island because of its similar terrain to that of the Pacific Islands and its uninhabited status. This operation was unsuccessful due to the incorrect assumption and shut down in 1944. This map is a highly detailed and accurate sea chart of the coastal border between Louisiana and Mississippi and is an important historical view of the developing Louisiana and Mississippi.

19684412Various locations in Louisiana 1968. 81 leaves illustrated with 701 photographs some in color but mostly in black-and-white. Oblong folio. Contemporary green cloth screw-bound. Moderate soiling and wear to album both covers and a few internal leaves detached. Album leaves with varying levels of chipping and wear a handful of photographs with paper remnants from being stuck to facing images on a few leaves but the great majority of images in very good or better condition. Overall good condition. A thoroughly charming and mammoth assortment of vernacular photographs documenting the activities of an African-American family and their friends in Jim Crow Louisiana. Many of the images contain dated captions printed in the borders helping to identify the time they were taken and are not arranged chronologically; the album was likely compiled some time in the mid-1960s. The wealth of images capture men women and children at home often playing with their children visiting sitting on the porch and so forth. The photographs also feature the family at church weddings family events swimming at Christmas and more. A great number of the images feature subjects posed in front of or near personal automobiles an important development in the lives of Black families in the mid-20th century. The album does not contain any captions or notations but the license plates of several automobiles in some of the images can be read clearly identifying the setting as Louisiana. Three photos document a young man and woman near a flooded portion of a neighborhood. A few of the men featured here sport military uniforms. The sheer number of images provide an excellent opportunity for further study into African-American life in Louisiana in the 1950s and '60s - a time of great transition and upheaval in the country. unknown

193927182Baton Rouge:: Louisiana State University Press 1939. First Printing of the First US Edition. A Very Good plus copy in brown cloth binding with some rubbing to the spine lettering though still readable. The author worked both alone and with Allan Lomax collecting songs "in the field".
