Historic Postcards of Avoyelles

By: Randy DeCuir

PRINTED IN FULL COLOR - Very few postcards remain of the early days of Avoyelles. But those that do, help tell a story of a different time, and certainly a different look. They were the original short version of "text messaging" with a snapshot, offering a short alternative to a long hand written letter. Traveling photographers captured the images of some of the Main Streets, schools, depots and churches of Avoyelles Parish at the beginning of the 1900s, then offered them for sale at the local drug store or general store. Sometimes they took photos of someone's home, and sold a set to the homeowner. There was often even a postcard with a photo of the Post Office. At least three of those survive in Avoyelles, one each in Bunkie, Egg Bend, and Marksville. From various sources,over the course of several years, the images of the postcards in the following pages were collected. Most were in black and white, but some were colorized, by hand. This book is printed in full color. Since the 1940s, only about a dozen post cards have been produced in Avoyelles, and we also included some of them. Most are from the personal collection of the author. Cards include the 1896 and 1927 Avoyelles Courthouses, as well as scenes in Bunkie, Cottonport, Hessmer, Mansura and Marksville.

Mobile Bay: 150th Anniversary of the Civil War

A Pictorial Review of Action of Mobile Bay at Fort Blakely, Fort Gaines, Fort Morgan, Fort Powell and Spanish Fort

By: Randy Decuir

150 years ago, several artists and writers followed the action of the Civil War. In the days before instant live feeds of war action, these reporters sent their stories back to home office so within a few weeks, newspapers could carry the story to the American people. Harper's Weekly came out every Saturday with the latest Civil War news, and the activity at Mobile Bay was often within its pages. The weekly reported from a Northern point of view of the "Enemy" and "Pirates" of the Confederacy. There were few papers in the south that could afford such artists to provide expensive engravings for illustrations. We attempted to gather as many of the illustrations directly from the pages of Harper's Weekly that dealt with Mobile Bay. The articles are reprinted also, with some additional reports and notes compiled by the editor of this 150th Anniversary Edition. The editor, Randy DeCuir, has family connections to both Confederate and Union at Mobile Bay. He is a great-grandson of Confederate private, Wiley Downs, who served and was captured at Spanish Fort. The editor also has a family connection to Union Admiral David Farragut through his maternal grandmother, Marie Michot DeCuir.

Pointe Coupee Portraits of Blue and Gray

The Faces of Some of the Soldiers and Citizens Whose Were Part of the Civil War in Pointe Coupee

By: Randy Decuir

Pointe Coupee provided hundreds of its men to the Confederate Army. As the talk of war began in 1861, several units of soldiers formed in Pointe Coupee. Some stayed in the area as local militia. Others left to join regiments of the Confederate Army. The goal of this booklet was to put an image to a name in an effort to give more identity to the war in Pointe Coupee. Regretfully most will remain faceless. The local men tended to be from one of the locally organized units. Among the companies formed in made up largely of soldiers from or identified with Pointe Coupee were: Fausse River Guards Grosse Tete Flying Art. 6th Field Battery Morgan's Cav.

Avoyelleans at Vicksburg

The Story of Vicksburg and the Men from Avoyelles Parish Who Served There During the Civil War

By: Randy Paul Decuir

Avoyelles Parish, with its location near the junction of the three main waterways of the Atchafalaya, Mississippi and Red Rivers, sat at the center of much activity during the Civil War. And with more than 1000 able bodies young men in its population, Avoyelles was a major supplier of troops to the Confederate cause. Several of those Avoyelles men spent time at Vicksburg, some during the great siege, others passing through to other battles, and some even being detained as prisoners of war by the Yankees. Avoyelleans at Vicksburg is an attempt to outline the names of these men from Avoyelles and the time they spent at Vicksburg.

Civil War Portraits of Avoyelles

The Faces of Avoyelles Soldiers and Citizens Who Contributed to the Cause

By: Randy Paul Decuir

This book is the culmination of over forty years of collecting old photographs by the author in Avoyelles Parish. The faces of about 150 of these soldiers or Civil War participants from Avoyelles are the largest collection of its type. The rarest of the photographs depict local soldiers in uniform, some bearing arms. There are also portraits of two Avoyelles men who were among the hundreds of local young men who died in the war. Over 1000 men from Avoyelles Parish served during the Civil War. Bordered by two rivers, the rich soil of the Mississippi and Red River valleys enabled large and many small plantations. Avoyelles gave its share of soldiers on both sides of the battlefield. About 100 of its citizens gave their lives either during a battle or from disease. Many of the local men were in one of a handful of units which were formed in Avoyelles. These French speaking soldiers spread out and collectively fought in just about every battle in the war, from Gettysburg to Mansura. Portraits include: Palmire Boyer Amet Prudent Aymond F. B.

Louisiana's Blue & Gray Generals

Civil War Generals of the Bayou State: 150th Civil War Anniversary

The Generals of Louisiana Louisiana produced a large share of high ranking military officials during the Civil War. Many of them had been educated at West Point, and were U. S.

Historic Postcards of Avoyelles

By: Randy Paul Decuir

5th EDITION - EXPANDED TO 72 PAGES - PRINTED IN FULL COLOR - Very few postcards remain of the early days of Avoyelles. But those that do, help tell a story of a different time, and certainly a different look. They were the original short version of “text messaging” with a snapshot, offering a short alternative to a long hand written letter. Traveling photographers captured the images of some of the Main Streets, schools, depots and churches of Avoyelles Parish at the beginning of the 1900s, then offered them for sale at the local drug store or general store. Sometimes they took photos of someone's home, and sold a set to the homeowner. There was often even a postcard with a photo of the Post Office. At least three of those survive in Avoyelles, one each in Bunkie, Egg Bend, and Marksville. From various sources,over the course of several years, the images of the postcards in the following pages were collected. Most were in black and white, but some were colorized, by hand. This book is printed in full color. Since the 1940s, only about a dozen post cards have been produced in Avoyelles, and we also included some of them. Most are from the personal collection of the author. Cards include the 1896 and 1927 Avoyelles Courthouses, as well as scenes in Bordelonville, Bunkie, Cottonport, Hessmer, Mansura, Marksville and Moreauville.

Arcadian Guards

The French Speaking Confederates of Company F of Mouton's 18th Louisiana Infantry & Company I of the Consolidated 18th Yellow Jacket Battalion

By: Randy Decuir,Steve Mayeux

William Mouton was the first commander of the French speaking Arcadian Guards which had been formed by his first cousin, Gen. Alfred Mouton. William enlisted as a First Lieutenant in the Arcadian Guards on Oct. 5, 1861. The two Moutons were grandsons of an Acadian exile from Nova Scotia. and apparently named the unit to honor the ancestral country of many of the men who volunteered. The majority of the men of the Arcadian Guards were also of Acadian ancestry. An exception were the men from Avoyelles Parish whose ancestors were mostly from older Colonoal French Creole families. When the Guards were assigned as Company F of the 18th Louisiana Infantry Regiment, William Mouton was elected captain. By the end of the war he was a lt. colonel. The 18th saw action in Tennessee, Mississippi and Alabama before returning to Louisiana. They were one of regiments which made up General Mouton's Army during the Red River Campaign, which brought them right back to their home territory. This book contains a little of the story of their service as they fought as well list the soldiers who were in the Arcadian Guards of the 18th Regiment.

A Pictorial Review of the Historic Bayou Rouge Community
