Jeanne Frois wrote Louisianians All to provide young readers
with an interesting and enjoyable introduction to Louisiana heritage. In her
book, she describes the lives of over twenty inspirational men and women from
the different cultural, ethnic, and religious backgrounds that make up Louisiana
today.
In Flags of Louisiana, Frois provides detailed descriptions of
the designs, symbols, and stories of all the national flags that have flown over
Louisiana. She also includes parish and city flags in this informative and
useful historical guide for all ages.
As co-editor of two editions of the Louisiana Almanac,
Frois contributed her expertise to this authoritative guide to the
state. Although the multitude of maps, graphs, charts, and facts may seem
daunting, the guide is surprisingly and easily accessible. This almanac is a
staple for all Louisiana classrooms.
Frois is a New Orleans native and has worked as a medical staff coordinator at
River Bend Hospital in Metairie, Louisiana. She works at Tulane University
Health Sciences Center, where she edits grants, book chapters, and journal
articles in the department of pathology. Her own work has appeared in the New
Orleans Times-Picayune, Gambit Weekly, and Angels on Earth
magazine. In her free time, she enjoys researching and writing about the Civil
War era. Her travels include several Civil War battle sites and the fields,
forests, and marshes of Louisiana. |
