The klan from up the hill in Bastrop was upset about a couple of well-to-do farmers from Mer Rouge who were known to be frolicking with around with the negro servants. So one Saturday they waited until the two fellas (Davenport and I can't remember) left a baseball game and surrounded their car, pulled em out and cut their nuts off then beat them to death. Then they wrapped them in chains and thru them into the Lafourche. The places were they chunked the bodies in is on my property behind the house. If you've read the book Rising Tide the story is in there. There is also a historic lynching tree out in front of the house.

Our family land down in South AL is just old farm land mostly. The camp house is the house my grandmother grew up in. Her daddy built it on the same site as the older house built by one of his great grandfathers. The original steps are still out front.

Also has the remnants of the old share croppers house at the edge of the field. Its fallen in now though.

At the other piece of property where my grandfather grew up, there is still the old general store/butcher shop / post office that his dad ran - he was also the postmaster.

The place we hunt up here is jsut rocky hills. It was farmed on the ridges at one point in history. We still can see sections of old stacked stone walls.

Some POS women and her boyfriend killed her then husband and dumped him on our place. Grandpaw found him in the ditch. That's about all the history we got

My lease was the main highway/entrance for the settlers of lower Cameron Parish as they came up the Mermentau and settled in Little Chenier, Grand Chenier, Creole, and Cameron. It also was the main shipping area for citrus fruit and perishable goods after the settlers started farming.
