Lost Shreveport: Vanishing Scenes from the Red River Valley

Lost Shreveport: Vanishing Scenes from the Red River Valley

Gary D. Joiner
3.3/5 ( ratings)
Read Download
Over the course of many decades, the city of Shreveport witnessed dramatic growth and ever-changing landscapes.


Mule-drawn railways gave way to electric streetcars, and what was once the Confederate capital of the state became today's vibrant commercial hub of northwest Louisiana. Drawing from their extensive image collection, authors Joiner and Roberson depict the forgotten scenes and lost stories that form the complex layers of Shreveport history. From the famous performances of Pawnee Bill's Wild West Show to the infamous red-light district, from the decline of vigilante justice to the victims who perished from yellow fever, Joiner and Roberson recover and remember lost Shreveport.
