  abstract: "For better or for worse, the history of Cajun country has a tendency to boil over. A murder case wound its way to the U.S. Supreme Court. An election day feud erupted into a shootout that left three dead and four injured. The Great Flood of 1927 swept entire communities away, and the yellow fever epidemic drove one town to halt all inbound trains from NOLA. A town with cursed city limits sounds unlikely, but banning the French language on public school grounds might once have seemed equally unthinkable. From the legality of the Louisiana Purchase to the rebirth of Cajun music, author and proud Cajun William J. Thibodeaux explores the forgotten elements of Acadiana's high-stakes history"--
