BIG John McKeithen: Won't Ya He'p Me?

John J. McKeithen made an indelible impression on the Bayou State for three reasons. First, as Louisiana’s 49th governor, he took significant action to reduce racial tension throughout Louisiana. Secondly, Gov. McKeithen showed significant foresight in recognizing the value of the Mississippi River and encouraging major industries to locate where fresh water was abundant. And finally, he deserves the title of Father of the Louisiana Superdome. Up until now, there has been no significant biography written about the life and accomplishments of Louisiana’s first two-term governor. But that has now changed with the release of this important and noteworthy chronicle written by one of the state’s most observant and accomplished historians. Rev. Bill Nash has built a legacy of writing important biographies covering the lives of major Louisiana political luminaries. He continues this legacy by writing a thorough, well-documented, and humorous account of a small-town country lawyer who aspired to the state’s highest office. You will love this book and Rev. Nash’s three other priceless additions to his growing library about Louisiana’s colorful political history.
