The old Mississippi River bridge was built lower so it was the farthest north a barge could go to offload.

His next show was in Dallas, and supposedly he spent the trip to Shreveport worried none of the Mom and Pop stores on the highway would let him eat or use the bathroom

The first US Army soldier killed in the European theater was a Ranger from Louisiana, in the Dieppe raid.

The 64 parishes of Louisiana were mapped out so the parish seat was no more than a day's horse drawn buggy ride away, from the farthest point.

Louisiana's Lt Governor during the Civil War was a Jew. His cousin was Secretary of State for the Confederacy.

Louisiana's Lt Governor during the Civil War was a Jew.
JB is sometimes credited with the classic line (after a political opponent called him a "dirty Jew"): "Yes, I am a Jew, and while the good gentleman's ancestors lived in caves on an obscure island, mine were priests in the temples of Solomon".

1951, Army troop train crashes head-on into a freight train near Lettsworth. 8 killed, 65 injured. My dad, who was a a recently discharged Ranger at the time, said it was the worst thing he'd ever seen.
