Mary Alice Fontenot has done an excellent job of researching and documenting many events and personalities in Acadia Parish, and appears to have thoroughly documented her resources. Reading through this set of books has sparked my interest in learning more about Acadia Parish, as I believe was Ms. Fontenot's intent. Her closing remark in the foreword of Volume II states, "It is hoped that these topics will be more fully developed within the near future, and that one of Acadia's most valuable historical resources -- the recollection of its senior citizens -- will be more widely recognized and utilized." I sincerely hope Ms. Fontenot has continued to research Acadia Parish history and will publish additional volumes to this set in the near future.
