People of the Bayou: Cajun Life in Lost America Paperback - 2003
by Christopher Hallowell
From the rear cover
The sprawling marshland of the lower Mississippi has spawned one of the most interesting indigenous cultures in all America--the Cajuns. Since the eighteenth century, they have clung to their ways, including their remarkable French-based patois, their deep love of the land and water around them, their world-famous cuisine, and their enviable love of life.
Along with his affectionate and lyrical portrait of the people he came to know, Christopher Hallowell provides a history of the region, its geology, its settlement, and the efforts of land speculators and oil companies to develop it. People of the Bayou is a haunting record of a place in transition--another corner of American culture facing assimilation into the mainstream, a way of life that may be gone before we know it.
