The Legend of Bayou La Fleur is set in the Louisiana bayou country, during the final days of our Civil War to the turn of the century. The town of Bayou La Fleur, the Desaird Swamp and the surrounding plantations form the backdrop for a cast of characters befitting any Hollywood script.
The author’s vivid and candid portrayal of life on both sides of the South’s caste system is testimony to the prejudice and hypocrisy undermining our sense of morality and justice to this very day. Its scope rattles the foundation and tears at the roots of America’s racial dilemma. The author’s straight-forward, gritty style cuts through and unravels the blood-soaked fabric of racism, whose threads are interwoven throughout our troubled society. The story is both, entertaining and timely, for it provides today’s readers with insights into the causes and atmosphere that gave rise to the bias that exists between blacks and whites alike and deprives our races from sharing our common humanity.
A descendant of Cajun fur trappers, who migrated from Canada, the author was born and raised in the bayou country of Louisiana and developed a curiosity about the tales and folklore recounted by his relatives and neighbors, a curiosity that led to the writing of this book. Throughout his childhood, he was witness to the brutality and inequity towards blacks, brought on by a system where hate was inbred and an accepted way of life. The scars on his face and body are the affirmation of a life spent as a construction worker, professional wrestler, boxer, bouncer and private detective.
