And that's for true! With wit and charm, one of Louisiana's preeminent columnists delivers bite-sized stories from the heart of Cajun Country. Whether they're about characters from the page or players on the political stage, paupers or authors, musicians or physicians, teachers or preachers, these spirited vignettes celebrate the quirky history and rich culture of Acadiana. Famous names like Huey P. Long and Evangeline rub shoulders with lesser-known personalities, such as the "First and Only Eternal King Crawfish" and Father Forge's pet monkeys. This collection of essays, from the wildly popular newspaper column C'est Vrai, celebrates the politics, sports, music, and, most of all, people of the Pelican State.
