obviously turquoise doesn't exist in mississippi on its own. so this is speaking to the trade that was happening amongst native american tribes. one of everyone's favorite objects in this exhibition are the bear paw moccasins, these are moccasin shoes made from bear paws with a deerskin sole, these are made by a louisiana tribe and likely not for native use, they were likely made for the french market to actually be sold in france. and so they were made and soon after sent to france. where they ended up in a curio cabinet of an aristocrat and there they stayed for hundreds of years until they came back for this exhibition. as we move into the next gallery, this space is looking at the early infrastructure attempts in new orleans. so what we're looking at is plans that were drawn up by french engineers to establish the settlement in a more permanent fashion. so as you look at this map, you can see what is now jackson square in the middle. looking beyond this is the french quarter. this is where, this is where we are now standing in this building

they want to try to settle the mississippi river. the son of a fur trapper decided he wants to petition the king to try a settlement in the gulf of mexico. so what we are looking at right now in this case is identifierville's letter to king luis on why he should give them money to settle in this area. he is arguing that there could be mineral wealth, that there could be wonderful fertile land that be farmed. iefervil's request, he saw the first settlement taking place in the gulf of mexico. the first french settlements were going to be not in the new orleans area but they were going to be in mobile. this plan right here is a plan for new mobile, which is the 2nd settlement that he was establishing on the gulf of mexico. this was the first permanent settlement by france in the gulf of mix mexico area. if you look at this plan, it should look familiar because new orleans is laid out on a similar grid with your church in the middle and a prom understand. prom en add >> this is a sugar plantation. they are hoping that new orleans makes t

you can get to the mississippi river with outgoing up -- without going up the mississippi.ayou st. john. if you draw a line from this body to the high-rises, that marks that two-mile portage trail. it was going through swamp, but this particular route was just a couple feet above the swamp land, and that made it a dry terrestrial portage. we are going along bayou st. john, and we are going to follow it more closely here, making a right. this was an early plantation region. small truck farms and dairy them as well as larger commodity plantations. we have example of older colonial era plantation houses here. in a moment we will see a 1788 plantation house that is known as the old spanish customs house, which also embodies that great look of -- it's right over here. this is one of my favorite streets in the city, grant route st. john. 1788, old spanish customs house. notice the double pitched roof, the raised construction, the center chimney, the brick construction. imagine different buildings of that size and massing with various distances dispersed throughout the french quar

the state of mississippi needs to go to. i thought they did a wonderful job of marrying the two. first my reaction was why do you need to museums, why can't we just have one in the mississippi history because it is all a part of the history but there's this whole story about how that happened and that totally makes sense but when you go to it, you see that there are professional archivists and historians and scholars on public history that have been incredibly thoughtful of telling a very inclusive powerful story. for the civil rights era to the broad area i think we've got to make it clear to everybody you've got to go to both sides. you can't understand the story unless you understand that longer mississippi story so i am just enormously proud having those museums and hope that people will go see them multiple any times. >> question back there. >> a question about harper lee did you gain any insight into that? >> i think the story that has often been told which is a good place to start is that it was the phenomenal success

double that of mississippi. today, not a single state has a single average income that is double that of mississippi. mississippi is coming back and part of that is about people moving out and some part is about capital moving in. hopefully we have all seen "in the heat of the night" that tells the story of a northern capital coming to a southern town. this was a real important phenomenon. i think the reason why that is not working anymore is the nature of work has changed. we see skilled innovators , the bill gates of the world, innovating in a way that primarily requires skilled workers. software engineers. as opposed to henry ford who innovated in a way that made use of tens of thousands of less skilled americans earning five dollars a day. unless we have a change of innovation that goes along with it, that suddenly means you will want to move capital to less skilled workers you are not see , that profit continue. that is a hopeful part of the innovation side of the policy i am proposing. a wage subsidy that

in 1950, 18 other states had incomes that were twice that of mississippi, double that of mississippi. today, not a single other state has an average and income level that is double of mississippi. that is mississippi coming back and some part of that is about people moving out, going to hire areas and capital moved in. like hopefully we have all seen in the heat of the night, which tells a particular story about capital coming to a particular town but this is a real and important phenomenon. i think the reason why this is not working anymore, the nature of work has changed and we see skilled innovators, the bill gates of the world innovating in ways that primarily require the input of other skilled workers, software engineers as opposed to henry ford who innovated in ways that made use of tens of thousands of less skilled americans earning five dollar days. unless we have a change of innovation that goes along with it, you will want to move capital to less skilled workers. you will not see the prophet continue. that is i think the hopeful part of the innovation side of the policy that

city west of the mississippi. few people could've imagined it all back at the turn of the h century when the dusty town of l.a. seemed destined to remain the 36th largest in the nation. it was behind indianapolis, toledo and massachusetts. what made the difference for l.a. with a combination of many active imagination and engineering supported by a great deal of sometimes deceptive advertising. these efforts, large and small gave the city what it needed to thrive. in the process, this improbable place, the grand metropolis that never should've been moved from the margins to the center of american life and consciousness. what they do is weave together these three narrative lines and weaves together to create a single narrative art that carries the history of the city forwarding chronological time. you see this story telling a lot on television these days. they intercut between various storylines but have a metanarrative that carries the story forward. this really mimics another aspect of urban life that really intr

the national ranging heritage center in lubbock tells the story of cattle ranching west of the mississippi river. part of the center is the historical park that preserves historic structures dating from the 1780's to the 1950's. jim bret campbell, the executive director, will show us some of these structures and how they helped ranchers adapt to a harsh environment. jim: the ranging heritage center really came about as a great public private partnership, really with the vision to create for the ranching industry west of the mississippi, what colonial williamsburg is to the eastern colonies. and to be able to capture the reaching heritage and history, and be able to interpret and tell the story of ranching, how it developed over 200 years from the spanish land-grant all the way to modern-day. so they started off with the spanish land-grant in the early 1970 hundreds, that is represented -- early 1700s, that is represented by -- here. and it goes back to the german integration and when the major grants were given out during austin's time here, when a significant number of german immigrants c

it was located at the mouth of the mississippi river so anything coming down the mississippi had to be offloaded to new orleans and onto ocean going vessels so there was a certain logic to why new orleans group where it was at that you have and there is no compelling geographical region for their behavior and center in this area there are a number of factors working against it. to make the city grow here requires a lot of imagination, a lot of out-of-the-box thinking and i contend a certain amount of deception and as we will see, the city that resulted from this extraordinary process of growth turned out to be extraordinary in and of itself . i did something a little different with the prologue of this book. all three of the books have prologues and in this one i included a section that lays out the pieces of the book, so to give you some idea of what the book is about i'm going to read the prologue. i'm going to stop halfway through to the other remarks so you're going to hear the whole thing but i'm going to start, it goes under the title implausible city and it begins with a quotati
