Heritage Scrapbook

of Northwest Louisiana

by Goodloe Stuck. First edition, inscribed and signed by the author.  Privately published from articles printed in The Times of Shreveport, LA.  1986.

A member of a pioneer family himself, Mr. Stuck was a renowned local historian, who wrote a weekly newspaper column for years.  This book is a compilation of some of these columns.  The main sections of the book are: pioneer living; antebellum times; gingerbread age; twentieth century; doing business; keeping the faith; having a good time; celebrating Christmas; and resting in peace.  He has selected aspects of cultural history that are not likely to be found in other books.
