Description

Author William Thibodeaux shares a bevy of Cajun Country tales. From shocking one offs to delightful immersion into the quotidian lives of Cajuns long deceased, we find ourselves with a satisfying grab bag of Cajun history. A murder becomes a case that winds its all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court. A feud erupts into a shootout on election day 1924 with three dead and four injured. One ordinary Cajun is torn between two passion--photography and railroading. Another young man rises to the rank of postmaster. Cajun music is reborn in these pages, and the university in Lafayette is founded. The legality of the Louisiana Purchase comes under scrutiny here, and communities lost to the great floor of 1927 are remembered, as is the once unthinkable banning of the French language on public-school grounds. During the yellow fever epidemic, one town tries to save itself by banning all inbound trains from NOLA. Another city in the region is befallen by a curse placed on its boundaries.

Author Biography:

William J. Thibodeaux is a native of Rayne, Louisiana. He attended Rayne High School and joined the U.S. Navy in 1967 when he was eighteen years of age. William served on a World War II Fletcher Class destroyer, USS O'Bannon DD-450, which spent all of its time in the West Pacific, mostly doing shore bombings in Vietnam. After his military obligation, William took a job with Southern Pacific Railroad in 1970 as a track laborer, repairing the railroad, preforming maintenance to the track structure and inspecting the railroad for defects. He retired with more than forty-four years of service. This is his third book.
