I got this from another website and Union Parish is on here. Very interseting. We would like to call your attention to our new website, > www.catharinecole.com, dedicated to the writings of Martha R. Field, who > wrote under the pen name Catharine Cole for the New Orleans Picayune from > 1881 to 1894.

We invite you to take a look at > catharinecole.com, and if you think its warranted perhaps include a link on
