Noah's Village: A History of Chatham Louisiana

Noah's Village captures the flavor of life on the North Louisiana frontier as settlers poured into the area during the years immediately preceding the Civil War. Later, as extensive railroad construction occurred, communities seemed to spring forth overnight along these new venues of transportation. The Village of Chatham was a typical example. This book follows its development from infancy in the year 1903 until modern times. Many photographs throughout the text provide the reader with a realistic and interesting view of this turn of the century village.
