Excerpt from Stories From Louisiana History This book of Stories from Louisiana History is intended to lead up to the authors' History 'of Louisiana, which has been used for more than a decade in the public schools of the State. It relates in greater detail and in simpler form the romantic incidents in the early history of the Mississippi Valley. Though the Stories have been prepared for very young readers, the authors have been able, in a large part of the book, to give them word for word from the original sources. The narratives left us by the first explorers and settlers tell in the simplest and most stirring language of the dan gers and hardships they themselves endured. Thus, at the beginning of their studies, the young people may taste one of the highest joys of the his torian; they may feel themselves in direct, intimate touch with the men who made our history. The Stories, it will be found, are true in every particular. Not a single detail has been introduced from the realm of fiction. It should be added that the first portion of the book, down to the Revolution of 1768, was written by Miss King and the remainder by Mr. Ficklen. The latter wishes to express his obligations to his wife for her aid in preparing the story of the Great Purchase, and both authors desire to thank her for designing the cover.

Excerpt from The Story of Louisiana Such a story is not to be well told by him who runs as he tells it. Easy reading for an ease-loving public is prepared at the expense of untiring labor, even when genius drives the pen and fiction is the product most desired; much more is it a work of toil when the mere uninspired compiler of events is expected to link and group dry facts in a way that will insure the most truthful and at the same time the most picturesque impression of the history involved. The novelist may, nay, he must, take liberties with truth. The historian has no alternative; he must follow the current of his subject from fact to fact and take things just as they present themselves. This Procrustean de mand of truth presents to the writer a limitation singularly inimical to unity of effect and peculiarly deadly to dramatic directness of presentation, especially when the history in hand is to be so brief as to enforce the utmost economy of phrasing.

Excerpt from Strange True Stories of Louisiana True stories are not often good art. The relations and experiences of real men and women rarely fall in Such symmetrical order as to make an artistic Whole. Until they have had such treatment as we give stone in the quarry or gems in the rough they seldom group themselves with that harmony Of values and brilliant unity of interest that result when art comes in - not SO much to transcend nature as to make nature transcend herself.

Excerpt from A History of Louisiana Every effort has been made to secure accuracy of detail; but as some errors may have crept in, the authors will be glad to receive notice of any that meet the eye of the critic. If a subsequent edition is demanded, the authors expect to enrich their work with further illustrations. Especially do they hope to obtain portraits of all the State governors - a task which it has been found impossible to accomplish in time for this edition. It may be added that all the artistic and mechanical portion of the work was done in New Orleans - the book is entirely a home product. The authors desire to thank the librarians of the Fisk, the Howard, and the State Libraries for uniform courtesy and kindness in putting at their disposal the rich historical treasures from which the materials of this work are drawn.
