Who ever told these guys the story of the Myrtle plantation got it horribly wrong!!! I was enjoying this book until I saw the very small Myrtle plantation information. Makes me think what else in this book was way off.
Didn't think I'd ever get through this book with all the religious relics, but then again, Louisiana is mostly Catholic so it stands to reason there would be a lot of unique religious shrines around the state. There were some good stories and some boring stories. The explanation about the different Mardi Gras parades was interesting as well.

I absolutely loved this book! It us wonderfully wrotten and illustrated with lots of great stories about the Bayou State! I recommend this to anyone with appreciation for the arty, the strange, or the occult! Its also a great read if you live here as well.
Buy it. Interesting stuff right around you.
I'm sure that this book is like the rest of the series: unique like all the rest. LOL There is something weird, unusual, fascinating, spooky and bizarre about every state in the United States. That's why we're all united. We're bound by the bizarre. There were stories in the book I hadn't heard of before and some that I had, mostly because my mother used to be a tour guide. If I had the shelf space, I would probably buy all of the Weird titles, but I don't, so I'll stick with my weird state.

This is more for natives, than tourists . That's even a stretch. I may have been quite generous with three stars.
