Is That So?: From the Mississippi Gulf Coast, A portrait of an American Family through race, education, power, politics, religion and class. 1760-2023

Over the years, I have listened to my parents and numerous family members tell stories about generations of ancestors and friends. Their reflections and vast experiences inspired me to write a book about my family, the Labats. This book would interest my family and anyone interested in South Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and Florida history. The stories I share are presented within a historical context of the formation of the United States of America and represent a significant place in the history of people of the four-state region along the Gulf Coast. ~ Victor Labat
