Casual readers and history buffs alike will love A Cardinal Necessity by Terry Reynolds. In the late 1880’s as its 50th birthday approached, Shreveport’s residents had to find their own water, as there was no public water supply. Not only was the city paying the price in disease, but the growth of the community was in danger of being strangled. Reynolds’ engaging book tells the story of water for the city from the time before there was any through the modern era. Cost is only $20. Free shipping.
