Handing the colony of Louisiana back and forth between their empires, the French and Spanish left a legacy that lives in such forms as the architecture of the Vieux Carre and a civil law deriving from the Napoleonic Code. Acadian refugees, German farmers, black slaves and free blacks, along with Italians, Irish, and the "Kaintucks" who helped Andrew Jackson win the Battle of New Orleans added to the state's distinctiveness. Made rich by sugar cane, cotton, and Mississippi River commerce before the Civil War, Louisiana faced poverty afterward. Battles between Bourbon Democrats and Reconstruction Republicans followed, ultimately involving the Custom House Ring and the Knights of the White Camelia. By methods that remain controversial, Huey Long ended "government by gentlemen" with economic transformations other had sought. Gas, oil, and industrialization have additionally "Americanized" the state.

Something of Louisiana's historic joie de vivre remains, however, to the gratification of residents and visitors alike; both will enjoy Joe Gray Taylor's telling of the story.

Great for Sensitive Skin… But Your Wallet Might Feel It
Size: 60 Count (Pack of 12)
These wipes are one of those “you see the difference immediately” kind of products. They’re super gentle, no strong smell, and they feel clean; like actually clean, not coated in random stuff. I’ve used them on sensitive skin and had zero issues, which already puts them ahead of a lot of other wipes. The only thing...maybe two…are... they’re not cheap. So every time I grab one, there’s a tiny voice in my head like “was that wipe necessary?”. Secondly they are not very easy to pull out of the pack, so you end up pulling out more than you need. But honestly, for how gentle and effective they are, I get why people swear by them. If sensitive skin is a concern, these are definitely worth it.

The Best Baby Wipes – Gentle and Effective
Size: 60 Count (Pack of 12)
I am in love with these wipes! I have been buying them for my daughters for years, even before the packaging changed. They truly deliver what they promise: 99% water and no fragrance, which is exactly what you want for a newborn. My baby has never had any irritation, and the wipes are very moist, so you don’t need many to clean your baby effectively. They are completely worth the cost, and I will continue purchasing them.
