This summer in 64 Parishes, our cover story is a look at the forgotten history of Camp Livingston, a military installation near Alexandria used as an internment camp for Japanese men during World War II.

The issue also includes:

• Historian Joan DeJean traces the life of Marie Baron, who was transported from France against her will to colonial Louisiana and later captured by the Natchez Indians
• Shreveport’s Chris Jay rounds up the best and boldest Louisiana podcasts
• Geographer Rich Campanella analyzes our in-house study of geographic diversity in 64 Parishes content
• Editor-in-Chief Erin Greenwald reminds us that this summer marks 300 years since the first slave ships reached Louisiana
