JEAN Acadians Move to Louisiana In 1652, Michel Richard, a native of the province of Saintonge, France,5 arrived in Acadie as a soldier with an expedition sponsored by Emmanuel LeBorgne. LeBorgne was a speculator and a very rich merchant in France who had invested heavily in the Acadian business enterprises of Charles de Menou d'Aulnay (1604–1650). D’Aulnay had been involved in what has ingloriously been called the “Acadian Civil War.” It seems that King Louis XIV approved overlapping land grants to an entrepreneur named Charles de Saint-Étienne de la Tour and d'Aulnay. Their business differences were exacerbated by deep personal and religious hatred (de la Tour was Protestant and d’Aulnay was Catholic). The most vicious fighting took place from about 1640-45 and did not end until d'Aulnay successfully expelled la Tour from his claims. La Tour fled to Quebec. The matter got even more complicated in 1650 when d’Aulnay died by accidental drowning and LeBorgne laid formal claim to the estate.

The first of these is a delightful collection of Armstrong’s love songs. Six of the fifteen tracks cover the period from 1929 and 1930 when he worked with his Sebastian New Cotton Club Or- chestra. The remaining nine cuts are from between 1955 and 1961. (Sony and its subsidiaries do not own the music Armstrong recorded between 1930 and 1955, hence the twenty-five year gap.) As a bonus, the contains a previously unre- leased live version of “Ko Ko Mo, I Love You So” recorded at the 1958 Newport Jazz Festival, as well as a duet with Carmen McRae backed by the Dave Brubeck Trio.

  • ACADIAN SETTLEMENT in LOUISIANA: COLONIAL POPULATIONS and IMPERIAL POLICY a Senior Honors Thesis by Frances Bailey Kolb Submitte
    ACADIAN SETTLEMENT IN LOUISIANA: COLONIAL POPULATIONS AND IMPERIAL POLICY A Senior Honors Thesis by Frances Bailey Kolb Submitted to the Office of Honors Programs & Academic Scholarships Texas A&M University In partial fulfillment of the requirements of the UNIVERSITY UNDERGRADUATE RESEARCH FELLOWS April 2007 Major: History ii ABSTRACT Acadian Settlement in Louisiana: Colonial Populations and Imperial Policy (April 2007) Frances Bailey Kolb Department of History Texas A&M University Fellows Co-Advisors: Dr. Katherine C. Engel Dr. April L. Hatfield Department of History This paper examines the influence of colonial policy and intercultural relations on the development of Acadian settlement in Louisiana between 1765 and 1785, spanning a portion of both French and Spanish colonial periods. Research has included an array of secondary sources, books, articles and maps, as well as a variety of primary sources, including published collections and archival material. Analysis of sources reveals two stages of Acadian settlement: the determination of physical location of settlements, and the characteristics, such as economic, demographic, and social, pertaining to the settlements. Political and social forces within colonial Louisiana affected the two stages of Acadian settlement differently. Colonial settlement and defense policies and Acadian culture influenced the location of settlements most strongly, while Acadian relations with other groups in Louisiana shaped the characteristics that the settlements developed iii during the 1770s. Acadian settlement indicates the imperial policies of France and Spain and the effect of these policies on the colonial population of Louisiana. iv ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I would like to thank Texas A&M University’s Office of Honors Programs and Academic Scholarship for the wonderful opportunity to participate in the Fellows Program and in conjunction with the Glasscock Center for Humanities Research for their financial support.

  • Louisiana MUSIC: Then & Now
    SPECIAL ADVERTISING SECTION LOUISIANA MUSIC: THEN & NOW If a rich history and world-acclaimed cuisine are the head and heart of Louisiana, music is its collective soul. The music of Louisiana meanders through generations of history carrying melodies of dreams, hope, lament and the boundless spirit of one of the most diverse populations in America. Signature Louisiana sounds can be found throughout the state, in both urban centers and rural countrysides. From grand concert halls to obscure roadside honky-tonks, travelers find a rich, abundant musical legacy that is distinctly and unmistakably Louisiana. The offerings are varied, from the state’s indigenous jazz, Cajun and zydeco music to its musicians’ notable contributions to the history and evolution of American blues, country and rock n’ roll. All carry a common denominator that could be summed up by what Louisiana residents call joie de vivre, or the joy of life. The coming year marks a statewide celebration of Louisiana music. Throughout 2013, notable artists, state tourism industry officials, national music industry stakeholders and Louisiana residents will join hands to acknowledge the state’s contributions to the soul of America. Read on to feel the rhythm of Louisiana. SPECIAL ADVERTISING SECTION SPECIAL ADVERTISING SECTION SMOOTH JAZZ Jazz was born in New Orleans, specifically in the city’s Congo Square and the Tremé, one of the oldest neighborhoods, and first flourished in the Storyville district north of the French Quarter. It is a percussive and often improvisational fusion of European, African and Caribbean music using wind and rhythm instruments that came to prominence in the early 20th century.
