About this item

by Eric J. Brock (Author)

"Here are heroes and scoundrels, businessmen and religious leaders, artists and soldiers, pioneers and planters as well as a number of stories that are ironic, bizarre or simply curious." In this newest collection of his popular columns, Eric J. Brock portrays Shreveport's historical pageant through the lives of a cross section of truly fascinating characters. From the enigmatic mayor Robert Nathaniel Wood to forgotten beauty queen Janet Currie, Brock sketches the men and women--both ordinary and extraordinary--who shaped the course of Shreveport history. These biographical vignettes, originally printed in the Shreveport Times and the Forum News Magazine, are a must-read for any native or resident of northwest Louisiana."
