America at War

http://louisdl.louislibraries.org/cdm4/index_AAW.php?CISOROOT=/AAW

The America at War Collection chronicles the military history of the United States from the 1760s through the Vietnam War. This collection provides an insight into how Louisiana impacted and was impacted by national and international engagements. America at War artifacts also record the home front and the economic and social effects of war. Although the majority of digitized artifacts are from the War of 1812 and the Civil War, there are a significant number of documents that provide researchers with a unique opportunity to examine the French, Spanish and Native American views of the British and American colonial dispute and the Spanish-American controversy that resulted in the revocation of the right of deposit in New Orleans and the Pinckney Treaty. The Favrot Papers from Tulane's Special Collections includes 1760s correspondence between Pontiac, Chief of the Ottawas, and French administrators in Louisiana. The Favrot Papers and The Historic New Orleans Collection's Laussat Papers include copies of the Pinckney Treaty.
