My rating of this book may be biased. I enjoyed reading about Cajun culture and history, and even I learned a thing or two! This book may be used in conjunction with a unit on Louisiana history or culture. The many photographs of historic items and people helped to bring alive a culture that many may know very little about. However, the book did not have any footnotes or end notes, and so it should not be used as the sole reference as teaching material. ( )
