Creoles of color are rightfully among the first families of southwestern Louisiana. Yet in both antebellum and postbellum periods they remained a people considered apart from the rest of the population. This book, focused on the mid-eighteenth to the early twentieth centuries, is the first to scrutinize this group through a close study of primary resource materials.
