5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent book!, April 7, 2005

By	Sara Q. Laviolette (Grand Coteau, LA) - See all my reviews

This book covers Cajun history so well it was used to teach the Cajun French III Class at Kaplan High School in Vermilion Parish, Louisiana when I attended back in 1996. When I started RealCajunRecipes.com, I got in touch with the teacher of that class, Ms. Renee Adams, and she was kind enough to send me a copy. She even wrote a few notes for me! I will always cherish this book that covers everything from Moss Farming to the "King of Mobile Home Sales."

4.0 out of 5 stars Good book, May 28, 2004

By	C. Thomas (Baton Rouge, LA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I really like this book. I like how it spends the first part of the book giving a history of the Acadians, beginning in French (includes regions from where they came and some of their trades), how and where they lived in Canada, and what they did between their expulsion from Canada and before their arrival in Louisiana.
After it has given a rather detailed history, the book goes on to go into more detail about different aspects of Cajun life, such as architecture, weaving, etc.
The book was written in the seventies, so some aspects of it are clearly dated, however the history that it provides is really great.
I recommend this book as a good one to get a pretty detailed overview of Cajun history and Cajun life.
