They Tasted Bayou Water: A Brief History of Iberia Parish de Maurine Bergerie

They Tasted Bayou Water: A Brief History of Iberia Parish

Autor Maurine Bergerie
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 31 mar 2000

Iberia Parish is one of the oldest settlements in the state of Louisiana, with a long and important history. Bergerie has condensed this history into a readable and informative book.

The author obtained, from the archives at Seville, Spain, copies of permits for the settlement of the Attakapas Country by Spanish immigrants, as well as copies of the correspondence between the Spanish officials, and particularly letters from Francisco Bouligny to Galvez.

They Tasted Bayou Water is a result of the writer's interest in the history of her home parish, an interest that was stirred early in life by tales of family and local history.

Textul de pe ultima copertă

Iberia Parish, in southwestern Louisiana, is one of the oldest settlements in the state and has both French and Spanish roots. Maurine Bergerie examines the history of this parish from its beginnings in the 1700s to the 1950s. Using legal documents and courthouse and church records, Bergerie provides information on the history of the parish, its people, and their society. Included photographs, maps, and illustrations further supplement the book, providing a visual Iberian history.

In addition to the parish's domestic history, this book also examines the parish's historical relationship with Spain. Bergerie obtained copies of original permits for the settlement, then part of Attakapas Country, from archives at Seville, Spain. The richly informative appendix also contains full translations of letters between early Iberian leader Francisco Bouligny and Bernardo de Galvez, Spain's colonial governor of Louisiana.

Maurine Bergerie, a native Iberian, was inspired to write They Tasted Bayou Water after a long interest in the history of her home parish. Bergerie earned a BA from the University of Louisiana at Lafayette and taught for several years in south Louisiana. She later earned an MA in American history, with a minor in French, from Louisiana State University.
