Book Description
"This book chronicles in fully-documented text and heirloom images the rich and colorful story of one of the oldest settlements in the Mississippi River Valley, from prehistoric times to the present day. Populated by the Creole French, African-American, Anglo Saxon, Italian and other peoples, Pointe Coupée has produced such figures of national and international fame as Julien Poydras, Major General John Archer Lejeune, General Russell Honore, U.S. Congressman and Ambassador Corinne 'Lindy' Claiborne Boggs and renowned author Ernest J. Gaines. Pointe Coupée's pivotal role in the history of the Mississippi River Valley and the American South, its agricultural importance, diverse population, wealth of Creole architecture, linguistics and folkways and centuries-old relationship with the provident yet often-destructive Mississippi River are all documented in this volume, the most comprehensive work on a truly fascinating American community"--Cover page 4.
