"Old Louisiana" is a vivid and evocative chronicle of the state's rich historical landscape, blending anecdotes, folklore, and historical research to capture the spirit of a bygone era. Written by Lyle Saxon, a central figure in the New Orleans literary renaissance, this work explores the transition of Louisiana from its French and Spanish colonial roots through the height of the plantation system and into the early twentieth century.

The book provides an intimate look at the social customs, architectural grandeur, and the unique cultural fusion that defines the region. From the bustling streets of New Orleans to the quiet, moss-draped shadows of the bayou, Saxon portrays the lives of planters, workers, and citizens with a keen eye for detail. The narrative is further enhanced by the elegant illustrations of E.H. Suydam, which bring the historic estates and landscapes of the South to life.

As a significant piece of Southern literature, "Old Louisiana" serves as both a historical record and a nostalgic reflection on the romanticized past of the Deep South. It remains an essential read for those interested in the history of the Mississippi River, the evolution of Creole culture, and the enduring charm of Louisiana's heritage.
