The first boxing heavyweight championship bout took place along the east bank of the Mississippi River in what is today Kenner.

Also, if anyone has a photo of it, I'd love to see where Sherman's portrait hangs at LSU. Never confirmed that it hung facing men's room at Hill Memorial...
Sherman's portrait hung in one of the Boyd's....it was stolen in the 1970's, and whoever did it has kept their mouth shut...

If on the Catahoula side I think that would be near grassy lake.

Why yes it is. It is a great lake to catch catfish on a trot line but you have to move your lines every couple of days. It is so shallow that you have to move them constantly.
Edit: I always used chicken hearts, at least if you didn't catch any fish you could fry the chicken hearts and still eat.

From the Isle of Brevelle, near Cloutierville, Natchitoches Parish, was a unit of over 100 free blacks who formed their own Confederate company and served in the Confederacy. Most were slave owners.
Actually the Confederate government refused to let them serve.

I've got an ashtray that was given to my father by Clay Shaw, the man Jim Garrison tried for conspiring to assassinate JFK. My dad worked for the ad agency that handled the New Orleans Trade Board, a business organization headed by Shaw. Not general history, but an interesting bit of personal history from New Orleans.

The river after the blasting occured also took all 12 or so blocks of Natchez under the hill except for the closest to the bluff, silver street, which still stands today. The city of Natchez is currently seeking "reparations" from the corps damage in the form of various restoration projects.
I thought it was an earthquake. Never heard this before.
