A REAL GOOD READ IF YOU CAN READ REAL GOOD..

Acadian General Alfred Mouton and the Civil War

Arceneaux, William

In the forward of this book Jessie J. Poech, Professor of Art History at Newcomb College, Tulane University wrote, "Fewer people have taken the time to study the rich variety of carved symbolism found more often in later cemeteries of the city." He went on to say "Much of this carving occurs on more modest gravestones and dates from the middle years of the nineteenth century and onward."  In most all representations of a man and woman holding hands, the woman's hands are always to the left with the mans hands to the right. This symbol means "holy-matrimony-of union."

The author's second book to St. Jean Baptiste des Allemands; The Civil Records of St. John the Baptist Parish, 1773-1803 fills in many gaps and goes further than the first. It contains the same extensive index to the abstracted records, made easier to read, and also included are the partial genealogies the translator has gathered from the records. It Includes the 1804 census of St. Charles Parish.
