64 Parishes

Our summer 2022 issue of 64 Parishes offers features on the emergence of wind power in a famously petroleum-powered state, the hatchet-happy antics of hands-on Prohibitionist Carrie Nation, reflections on the legacies of the Green Books that listed resources for Black travelers, and the story of a widow fighting for a Civil War pension.

We’re also proud to present:

• Peaches Records
• the engineering projects that tried to topple Vicksburg
• Amede Ardoin‘s seminal position in Louisiana music
• poetry by Jennifer Reeser
• the miasmatic dangers that prompted drainage works
• Cecilia saxophonist Dickie Landry
• a LaPlace smokehouse bouncing back from Hurricane Ida

Plus stories from our partners at The Historic New Orleans Collection, Shreveport Regional Arts Council, CODOFIL, the New Orleans Museum of Art, and the New Orleans Jazz Museum at the Old U.S. Mint.
