Cabanocey is a very good book. My Chauvin family is in it. They owned the tavern/gambling hall called Le Pape Vert in Union, LA. These Chauvins are not related to the Canadian Chauvin brothers who came with Iberville. Our ancestor arrived in Union, LA around 1800 with his widowed mother from Calais, France. Lots of other good stories and folklore, too. I also learned what a Pape Colas was. I remember hearing my grandmother use that term and I never knew what it meant.
