I came here to post the same thing. The book was fantastic.

I grew up hearing about how Perez stole my family's land, how we'd be rich once the case was settled. 40 years later, and I'm still not rich.

She said they thought some of the money was used to partially to run the parish because they had little or no federal funding
They dodged integration of the public school systems for years by running segregation academies such as Promised Land, River Oaks, and Delta Heritage until they closed in the late 80s… the regular public schools got very little funding due to this. there were court cases about the legality of them using state funded textbooks.
facts....owl i am impressed

Well one night we strayed way way off and when we got back to the shell road a PPSO deputy was waiting for us. 3 of the 5 were old enough to have driver's licenses and deputy looked at the first one and says "your dad and uncle gonna get a call telling you not to go there again", looked at mine asked if my I was related to xyz, i said yep that's my grandpa, he chuckled and said tell him i said hi. third guy "damnitt you should know better" This was 1980 /81 same weekend as air show. deputy told us all... "of all the peoples property to sneak onto, they ain't the ones, ya'll better off sneaking onto the base"
We went to Idlewild on the weekends a lot to go shoot and raise hell.
nevermind it was 2:00 am and we had a sack full of rabbits

I read the book about Perez and quite frankly it’s unbelievable.
I was coming in here to ask if there is a book about all of this / Judge Perez? What is the name of the book?

Leander Perez Boss of the Delta
I believe Glen Jeansonne is the author. It will explain a lot of why the 1930's - 1950's Louisiana shaped the future of the state with the political tribes like the Longs, Perez's, and some other lesser known groups exploiting a largely rural uneducated population to plunder the states resources.

Leander was the mob boss in power when St Bernard went from a swampy backwater with a few settlements down the road, into a full grown white flight suburb. It used to be unbelievably racist. We used to play Dixie at high school football games and voted for David Duke
Now 30 years after that white kids aren’t even the majority anymore at Chalmette High. The force field at Jackson Barracks has broken down

Does that place still exist?

Does the Perez family own the Stella plantation and hunting/camping place in Braithwaite? That place is insane. Millions of dollars poured into it.
I believe they still own land where the coal terminal in Davant is on, so you know they are still collecting fat royalties.

In all honesty you're going to have to pay an expert money to conduct the appropriate research for you. unless you are willing to get into the nitty-gritty details of real property laws and processes and dig through the sources yourself. Which it sounds like you're not willing to do either.

The purpose of the law is stability. It quiets title for the possessor and against absentee owners. Thirty years is a long time, and almost anything the owner does to exercise ownership will restart the clock
That's a pretty good argument. There's a lot of abuse, though. You probably know about that Bill Magee clown in St. Tammany and his "novel technique for acquiring title."
The byzantine nature of US title law kind of let Ol' Bill obfuscate and cover his arse while engaging in what I'd call flat-out theft. Didn't even lose his law license, if memory serves.

Yes. It's no longer owned by the Perez family.

A lot of St. Bernard people relocated to the Northshore in the wake of Katrina, as Chalmette was laid to waste. Whenever I'm in Mandeville or Covington, I can hear that unmistakable accent in restaurants, shops, etc.
There are a few Perez direct descendants in uptown Nola. They don't live as lavishly as you might expect. There is probably a reason for that.

He cut the deal for Louisiana for oil and gas royalties with the feds etc and screwed the state. He got something personally from it, but I don’t remember the story.
