Master George's People : George Washington, His S... National Geographic Kids National Parks Guide U.S... The rich and colorful history of Louisiana begins in 1682 when Sieur de La Salle claimed the region for France. After that time, the region was governed under several different flags, including France, Spain, and Great Britain. Readers will learn how secret treaties bounced the colony between French and Spanish rule, creating a unique mix of people and culture and a prosperous plantation economy that grew New Orleans into a major port and trading center.

Louisiana, which doubled the size of the country and gained control of trade along the Mississippi River, helped turn the United States into a world power.
Provides readers with a comprehensive guide to the history of Louisiana, its diverse people, and the impact the purchase of this state from the French has had on the United States, complete with period maps, first-person accounts, and photographs.
