Louisiana Haunted Forts [Paperback]

Although there are numerous books about Louisiana, little information about the forts are included and none combines the forts with ghost stories. Louisiana has five distinct regions, and all have historic forts, ranging from French rule to Spanish, Confederate, Federal, and even Privateer. Each unique story is heightened by ghostly legends. The state is already a strong tourist attraction with a $5.2 billion business yearly, 87,000 employees in tourism, and a population of over 4,000,000.Elaine Coleman is author ofTexas Haunted Fortsand has driven over 50,000 miles marketing the book throughout Texas.
