Gerstäcker's Louisiana fiction and travel sketches from antebellum times through Reconstruction
No mere armchair tourist, Friedrich Gerstäcker fully engaged himself in exploring Louisiana -- its landscapes, peoples, and Peculiar Institution. He was in the unique position of being both an insider and an outsider, and his sojourns in the state served as the basis for travel books, short stories, and novels.
