Special report of the Auditor of Public Accounts, in relation to swamp and overflow lands, to the Legislature of the State of Louisiana. Baton Rouge
: J.M. Taylor, 1860. The report showed the receipts from the sale of swamp and overflow lands and amounts paid out of the Levee and Drainage Fund
from 1852-1859. The state sold ca. 1,750,000 acres for $1.25/acre for a rounded total of $2,200,000. More waterlogged areas sold for lesser prices,
but still netted $144,000. Total sale were $2,342,568 and received into the Treasury was $2,418,119. There was no explanation of the discrepancy. The
Levee and Drainage people spent $832,000 on several pages of projects. Many thousands of acres of swamp land were erroneously sold, so $75,000 had
to be refunded.
