St. Tammany Parish Postcards: A Glimpse Back in Time

Editorial Reviews
Book Description
In "St. Tammany Parish Postcards: A Glimpse Back in Time," Louisiana native Ashleigh Austin presents more than one hundred vintage postcards from her extensive personal collection. These images, originally published from the 1900s to the 1960s, capture many familiar sights and landmarks from this historic region north of New Orleans.

From the several bridges spanning Lake Pontchartrain to gone-but-not-forgotten eateries such as the White Kitchen in Slidell to lost hotels such as the Mugnier Hotel in Mandeville, the memories evoked by this collection are a priceless part of Louisiana's past.

About the Author
Ashleigh Austin's first book was inspired by her own collection of vintage postcards. As a Louisiana native now living in the Ozarks, she sought out cards that not only reminded her of home, but that also recorded local landmarks that have disappeared. "I am so grateful to all those early postcard photographers and publishers for having the foresight to capture pieces of history," she says.

Ms.Austin is a New Orleans native who spent her high school years in St. Tammany Parish.
