4.0 out of 5 starsA history of New Orleans focused on the suburb of Metairie
By Marcel Joseph Tiemann, mjtiema@ibm.net on January 31, 1998
Format: Paperback
Msgr. Bezou gives a scholarly review of the early days of New Orleans,including the Indian tribes, and explorers, and historical personages. AND, he finds items that are often missed in more lengthy studies. His primary focus settles in on the suburb of Metairie. How Metairie came to be, who lived there and why, even exactly what the name signifies in French, all of this is written in a grand style. The author has the credentials of an old French family, and the background of an inquisitive churchman, and an easy way of saying what is important in a conversational way. This is a must read book for the inhabitant of Metairie, or for anyone who is interested in Louisiana history. The research is done for you. Msgr. Bezou passed away in 1989 but his work will live on.

4.0 out of 5 starsGood, but limited to St. Francis
By Regmar Hanemann on September 2, 2013
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
I really enjoyed this book - at least the first half. It includes detailed information about the first European settlers of Metairie as well as its history from "Cannes Brulee" up through Alfred Bonnabel. Sadly Monsigneur Bazoo, who was pastor of St. Francis for as long as I can recall, turns the book into a history of St. Francis about midway through the book. He neglects to cover Hog Alley, the Papworth Family, the Bonnabels involvement with education, their "plantation house", Kenner, Harahan, Lakeview, etc. I love St. Francis, don't get me wrong - but a history of Metairie includes more than just St. Francis Parish.

Thank you Monsigneur Bazoo for a fascinating book. I wish you had written more.

5.0 out of 5 starsFather Bezou's book is one of the greatest books written about New Orleans and its environs
By Josee on July 19, 2015
Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase
Father Bezou's book is one of the greatest books written about New Orleans and its environs. Certainly the best book written about Metairie. Fascinating history that is extremely well documented using the French source materials, much of which the Catholic Church has, and to which Father Bezou had easy access.
