This publication revisits the first 80 years of St. Paul Lutheran Church, exploring the congregation's formative years in Faubourg Marigny, New Orleans. Between 1840 and 1920, the members of St. Paul endured a turbulent history of fires, language disputes, epidemics, Civil War, hurricanes, doctrinal confusion, and World War I. Yet, 80 years after its founding by German immigrants, St. Paul continued to display the energy and vitality that would distinguish it for another century. Hundreds were baptized at the ancient German-era font still in use today. Celebrating thousands of baptisms, confirmations, and marriages, their lives remained focused on the religious values and social responsibilities of this remarkable church family. St. Paul survives to this day at the corner of Port and Burgundy Streets, having found sustenance for 180 years through capable leadership, inclusive fellowship, and the inestimable bonds of love and faith. The first 50 years, 1840-1890, are recorded here by republishing Rev. G. J. Wegener's history of the congregation, Geschichte der St. Paulus Gemeinde, with its original illustrations, published in 1890. Wegener's original work is further illustrated with additional archival documents and photographs. The years 1890 through 1920, capture St. Paul's emergence into the 20th century. This period is explored through the subsequent writings and recollections of Pastor Wegener and his family, with additional details gleaned from the archives of St. Paul. The memoirs of fellow clergy, school teachers, and congregational members, create a multifaceted portrait of a congregation as a work in progress. There are also parallel historical accounts written by various church historians in order to bring a more balanced perspective to the narrative. This book reveals details about St. Paul's early pastors and teachers by way of synodical sources, family photographs, personal memoirs, and private letters, creating brief biographical portraits of the pioneering German theologians and educators who introduced Evangelical Protestantism, as well as the beginnings of Lutheranism, to New Orleans. The St. Paul archives include a vintage collection of individual confirmation portraits featuring the ancestors of many current and former St. Paul families. Their inclusion here places a human face on the historical record. They have not been seen in decades and many of them are published here for the first time. This is the beginning; an exploration of the human drama and doctrinal confusion, so evident during St. Paul's emergence in the mid-19th century. Here is also an encouraging portrait of a Lutheran congregation, blessed with steadfast leadership, determined to navigate its way into the 20th century and beyond. Kevin J. Bozant has revisited the historical writings and archives of his great-grandfather, Rev. G. J. Wegener, resulting in the following publications: Rev. G. J. Wegener: His Life and Ministry in New Orleans, St. Paul Lutheran Church of New Orleans: The First 80 Years 1840-1920, and Bethlehem Orphan Home: New Orleans Refuge.

The Encyclopedia of New York State is one of the most complete works on the Empire State to be published in a half-century. In nearly 2,000 pages and 4,000 signed entries, this single volume captures the impressive complexity of New York State as a historic crossroads of people and ideas, as a cradle of abolitionism and feminism, and as an apex of modern urban, suburban, and rural life. The Encyclopedia is packed with fascinating details from fields ranging from sociology and geography to history. Did you know that Manhattan's Lower East Side was once the most populated neighborhood in the world, but Hamilton County in the Adirondacks is the least densely populated county east of the Mississippi; New York is the only state to border both the Great Lakes and the Atlantic Ocean; the Erie Canal opened New York City to rich farmland upstate . . . and to the west. Entries by experts chronicle New York's varied areas, politics, and persuasions with a cornucopia of subjects from environmentalism to higher education to railroads, weaving the state's diverse regions and peoples into one idea of New York State. Lavishly illustrated with 500 photographs and figures, 120 maps, and 140 tables, the Encyclopedia is key to understanding the state's past, present, and future. It is a crucial reference for students, teachers, historians, and business people, for New Yorkers of all persuasions, and for anyone interested in finding out more about New York State.

Incorporated in 1887, South St. Paul grew rapidly as the blue-collar counterpart to the bright lights and sophistication of its cosmopolitan neighbors Minneapolis and St. Paul. Its prosperous stockyards and slaughterhouses ranked the city among America's largest meatpacking centers. The proud city fell on hard economic times in the second half of the twentieth century. Broad swaths of empty buildings were razed as an enticement to promised redevelopment programs that never happened. In 1990, South St. Paul began to chart out its own successful path to renewal with a pristine riverfront park, a trail system and a business park where the stockyards once stood. Author and historian Lois A. Glewwe brings the story of the city's revival to life in this history of a remarkable community.
