This work is a collection of vintage photographs taken during the history of Ruston, Louisiana. Ruston was established in 1884 when the Vicksburg, Shreveport & Pacific Railroad put a line across north Louisiana and settlers came from nearby to establish a community that would become a major cotton shipping point and an educational center for the region. This copy is clean and solid.

The photographs within these pages reflect all aspects of life in Ruston, from the community's involvement during the war years to the businesses established by early residents, and from the building of the university to the influence of the railroad and the cotton industry. The collections of local photographers Bob Pfister, Colonel Marbury, John Green Davis, and Edwin Red Woodward are all featured in this unique pictorial retrospective; many of these rarely seen images came from a collection of glassplate negatives stored for over thirty years in shoeboxes in a backyard shed. Although some were forever lost to the forces of nature, what remains is a treasured glimpse of days gone by that will find a special place in the hearts of those who call Ruston home.
