520 |a The River Road between New Orleans and Baton Rouge hosts a fascinating mix of people, traditions, and stories. The author has spent over two decades exploring this richly historical corridor, uncovering intriguing and often underappreciated places. This book presents fifteen sketches about sites along this scenic route. From familiar stops, such as the National Hansen's Disease Center Museum at Carville, with its octogenarian guide, and the sui generis perique tobacco area of St. James Parish, to the less well-noted yet highly distinctive Our Lady of Lourdes grotto, this book gives an overview of the River Road, serving as an accessible and definitive companion to exploring the corridor.
