From the back cover: Along the banks of the Mississippi between New Orleans and Baton Rouge, shaded by live oaks and curtains of Spanish moss, the opulent mansions of Louisiana's River Road have long epitomized the romance of the Deep South. Today, much of this proud plantation architecture has been ravaged by the elements, while oil refineries and residential subdivisions have encroached upon the pastoral grounds where sugarcane planters once reigned supreme. Vestiges of Grandeur combines over 230 color photographs with extensive captions to offer a hauntingly evocative portrait of these grand plantation estates and the changing world around them. Author Richard Sexton's elegant photographs and illuminating text are complemented by Alex S. MacLean's striking aerial images and an historical introduction by preservation architect Eugene Cizek. An essential companion volume to Sexton's best-selling New Orleans: Elegance and Decadence, Vestiges of Grandeur is an homage to the presence of the past in the distinctive landscape of southern Louisiana. By the way: Welcome to the new ebay storefront for The Shepherd's Center of Winston-Salem. The store will be operated by experienced ebay sellers who have been selling some of our best donations for several years now through their own storefronts. Now we are using these same experienced sellers to sell to you directly. For the philanthropists out there, the vast majority of the items sold by us (GutenburgReads and others), are for the benefit of The Shepherd's Center of Greater Winston-Salem, whose mission is to help house-bound seniors live full and independent lives in their own homes. The center provides transportation to medical appointments and grocery shopping, assistance with minor repairs around the house, and companionship through visits. The citizens of Winston-Salem generously donate books, music, movies, and more to us to help us achieve our mission. And now, you can buy useful items from us directly, and you will be helping the less fortunate in our city.
