Description

Few thoroughfares in The us are as wealthy in history and culture as Louisiana’s River Road between New Orleans and Baton Rouge. Yet for lots of travelers and even natives, traces of that past, veiled by time and change are frustratingly difficult to discern. On this revised and expanded edition of her definitive guide to the fabled route, Mary Ann Sternberg provides up-to-date information on sites and attractions along the river in addition to the tales and local lore that still make the River Road one of the colorful destinations around.

The River Road–in truth two roads, one on every side of the Mississippi River–is the product of more than three hundred years of documented history and culture. The centerpiece of the book is a mile-by-mile guided tour–upriver at the east bank and downriver along the west–that details the past of scores of overpassed venues. The River Road’s allure goes far beyond its parade of antebellum mansions to reveal a wondrous past and present awaiting discovery with this book in hand.
