Hi Judy,

Thanks to you and Stanley for the help. As I mentioned to Stanley, I was
fascinated by this little lesson because I grew up in the area! But I had
not heard that area referred to this way. Thank you so much for the
reference as well. I will attempt to obtain the book.

As usual, everyone here is great!
Thanks
Andy Scott

Prairie du Gros Chevreuil (Prairie of the Big Deer) was in the Arnaudville
(St. Landry) and Cecilia (St. Martin) area. See "Sous Cette Pierre Repose":
Tombstone Inscriptions of the Old St. Landry Catholic Church Cemetery,
Opelousas, Louisiana, by Susan Burleigh Douget. On page 27 there is a Map
of Prairies in the Opelousas District.
