Hi, I came across the following references and was wondering if anyone could tell me more about these landmarks mentioned. One is a bayou and the other I am not certain of, probably another waterway or maybe the same Bayou? from an article on LA Governor James Madison Wells, 1808-1899. "He controls a large cotton plantation near Alexandria, a sugar plantation on Bayou Huffpauer in Avoyelles Parish and a large summer home Jessamine Hill near Lecompte, Louisiana." The other is from a Civil War record: Report of Maj. Gen. John G. Walker, C. S. Army, Commanding Division, of Operations March 12-19. RED RIVER CAMPAIGN "Under these circumstances I thought it my duty to take up my line of march at once without awaiting instructions, which I did about 10 p.m. on the 14th, and on the next morning arrived at Lloyd's Bridge with my whole force, including Mouton's brigade, commanded by Colonel Gray, which I found encamped on the Huffpower, 19 miles south of Fort De Russy, under orders to re-enforce my division. " Kind of interesting! Thanks, Linda Get your Free E-mail at http://alsace.zzn.com ____________________________________________________________ Get your 100MB FREE Internet storage!
