Gilbert C. Din is the author of several books, including Francisco Bouligny: A Bourbon Soldier in Spanish Louisiana and, with John E. Harkins, The New Orleans Cabildo: Colonial Louisiana's First City Government, 1769- 1803.
"An important work that fills a significant void in Louisiana and
Gulf Coast historiography. Din has laid another stone in the
foundation on which comparative, intercultural, and comprehensive
transdisciplinary histories of the early Mississippi Valley can now
be built."-- "American Historical Review"
"Genealogists will find this book to be a must for research on
Isle�o families in Louisiana. Anthropologists will take delight in
the account of the rapidly passing antique culture still preserved
by some Spanish-speaking Isle�os in remote localities. An important
minority group that has become part of Louisiana's mainstream has
now received the recognition for its history that it deserves."--
"Louisiana History"
"In this volume Gilbert C. Din rescues the Isle�os from obscurity
with a sound historical survey of their presence in the state."--
"Journal of American History"
"This study encompasses a complete history of Louisiana's Isle�o
community from the Spanish era to the present. It is well
conceived, interesting, and thoroughly researched."-- "Journal of
Southern History"
