Book excerpt: After years of conflict: deadly personal vendettas, the Vigilance-Anti-Vigilance War, and the Civil War, the Dupré, Frugé, Ortego, and Nightflower families struggle for survival in that part of Acadiana known as Prairie Faquetaique. Conflict continues to fester among the families of the prairie where cattle thieves continue to plague the region, new settlers continue to pour in, and even the prairie begins to change. From open range cattle farming, the petit habitants of the prairie must adjust to rice cultivation, the end of the open range, and the new settlers who are increasingly English-speaking Americans. Love and loss are a constant part of life on the prairie, and those who survive disease and deadly hatreds do so by holding fast to their faith and their families. Although old hatreds remain, Maius, the last surviving son of Theodule Dupré; Amelina Ortego, the surviving daughter of Emile Ortego; Olivia Nightflower, the mixed-race traiteuse; Clèmante Frugé; and Adèle Reed must survive the challenges and harsh life of the prairie as it changes around them.

Book Synopsis The Acadian Prairie - Theodule by : Christopher J. Fontenot
Download or read book The Acadian Prairie - Theodule written by Christopher J. Fontenot. This book was released on 2017-02-10. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Acadian Prairie by Christopher J. Fontenot Tugged and shoved by the winds of war, the petit habitants of the Acadian prairie arrived from many directions. Acadians arrived from Nova Scotia. Other families migrated to the prairie after the French and Indian War. All of the settlers sought land and isolation that shielded them from the intemperate affairs of European kings. The Acadian prairie provided both. Farmers and ranchers, Theodule Dupré, Emile Ortego, the Landrys, Frugés, and the traiteuse Olivia wanted only to be left in peace, but peace is not given freely. Death was always near, whether it was vigilantes and cattle thieves, storms and epidemics, or Jayhawkers operating in the chaos of the Civil War, they had to fight for what was theirs – sometimes even fight their own families. Connected by family and circumstance, theirs was a saga that would follow their families through generations.

Book excerpt: Growing up in the prairie is not much different from growing up anywhere else. Only the distances are greater. Neighbors in a town or a village are only yards away; neighbors in the prairie are miles away. Growing up in Prairie Faquetaique during the worst of Jim Crow could prove deadly. The Acadian Prairie was no different from any places in either the North or the South where some sought advantages at the expense of others. And some fought against the violence and discrimination any way that they could. The Acadian Prairie: Amelie continues the saga of the Dupré, Prejean, White, Nightflower, Bennet, and Fontenot families as they enter the new century facing the dangers found in the changing landscape of the disappearing open range. Whether it is a young girl trying to avoid being attacked again by her mother's lover, competition for business in a small village turning violent, or a school for black children threatened with arson, life in the prairie continued to present challenges to the next generation. TAP: Amelie follows Amelie Dupré, Yvette White, Peter Fontenot, and their families as they grow and seek their rightful place in the prairie. Not all goes well, and their struggles define the best and worst of life in the prairie during the worst of the Jim Crow era and the Gilded Age.
