The most beautiful of America's fifty statehouses, the Louisiana capitol in Baton Rouge ranks second behind the New Orleans Superdome as the state's leading tourist attraction-and this comprehensive guidebook shows why.

Constructed in 1932 under the reign of Huey Long at a cost of only $5 million, the thirty-four-story tower houses some of the most impressive examples of art deco architecture in America.

A companion work to Pelican's lavish pictorial volume, The Louisiana Capitol, published in 1977, this book is an ideal in-hand guide for on-site observation, appreciation, and understanding of the capitol's art and history.

She was a resident of Baton Rouge during the same time that Huey Long was slain within the city limits, and in the book she vividly describes the tense aftermath of the shooting. The Pelican Guide to the Louisiana Capitol is an ideal guide for on-site observation, appreciation, and understanding of the capitol's art, architecture, and history. It also discusses what is considered the most beautiful of Americaís fifty statehouses.
