New Iberia, Louisiana - History Along Bayou Teche

[@fishbird2536]

Though born in Texas, from age 12 I grew up in Houma and Lafayette ... fishing and hunting the bayous, basins and marshes all along the coast. Always partying and working the oil fields. Life was good and the people were a treasure. My brother and I married 2 Cajun girls, an Alleman and a Arceneaux, and raised our families there. I've since moved away .... but your stories rekindle everything I love so much about Louisiana and remind me of my eternal second home. Thanks and may your life be filled with lagniappe!

[@LouisianaDread]

[@glencranor9138]

I lived and worked in New Iberia in the late 70s and early 80s, I loved the place and still have close friends there. Just seeing videos like this brings back many memories, I will always cherish my time there.

[@LouisianaDread]

I’m happy I could help you relive some great memories

I’m from New Iberia. My mother side of the family is from the original Spanish that founded the town. Miguez

[@LouisianaDread]

Fascinating history! Very epic

[@Appliancematrix]

I'm a Romero, and I stem from Miquel Romero. One of the founding families! Love my history. I bet somewhere along the lines, we are distantly related.

Soy Español y vivo en Alhaurin de la Torre en Málaga. Un día en un restaurante de la localidad conocí a una señora Norteamericana que había venido de visita porque su familia procedian de Málaga. Me ha sorprendido mucho que se guarde recuerdo de toda esta historia en Luisiana.

[@gordiasgordian925]

Need to do episodes on St. Martinville and Opelousas. They have a lot of history but tend to be forgotten.

[@LouisianaDread]

I’m already on it my friend! Stay tuned!

[@MJCenac76]

Your channel and knowledge in our history is amazing man. Thank you for taking on this endeavor.

[@LouisianaDread]

I appreciate that, mon ami. We got BEAUCOUP content coming each week, so much more to come. Thank you for the continued support!

[@rareturtle8198]

I’m an Iberia Parish native, from Loreauville right up the Teche from New Iberia. I recommend that you look into the new findings about Fausse Pointe, present day Loreauville, being the original settlement of the Acadians. It’s real interesting stuff. I think the work was done by Dr. Rees from UL Lafayette

[@LouisianaDread]

I’ll definitely look into that!

[@LLSO4998]

My Paternal Grandmother was born in New Iberia in 1890. Her family name was Etienne.

I live in New Iberia. All 4 of my grandparents came from the Bayou Petit Anse/Lake Peigneur area. They were farmers. I guess they would be referred to as the “Prairie Cajuns.” 😊

[@LouisianaDread]

You already know!!!!

[@MichelleMcphine]

I'm researching the Family name Boscho. I've found the name Bosch but not Boscho. Would the O be dropped on the last name over time? I am researching a women buried in New Orleans named Marie Boscho she passed in 1918. She was known as Tinka..Gypsy Queen. The word Tinka means little girl or daughter in Irish. There isn't much history about her and nothing about her family. I live in New Iberia and I am researching who she was. Im not finding anything, really. This Women/girl has my heart and I cant explain why I have this driving force to find out about her. I feel there is some rich history about who she was. There is reference to her in the book Gumbo ya-ya. Also Leonard Huber mentions her in one of his books...Anyone here know who I'm talking about? The only Boscho I found was referenced as one of the knights Templers Giacomo de Boscho...and I found nothing about this Man. I have to find out who she is how she made it here to Louisiana and buried in New Orleans my heart won't let it go. Can anyone help me?

[@LouisianaDread]

I’m not sure but I hope someone can help you out accordingly!

[@johnblood3731]

My 4 great grandfather was one of the union soldiers encamped at the shadows. Hecwas in the 53 Massachusetts . He came back to Louisiana after the war to central Louisiana. I lived in new iberia 14 years. Great place and greater still people.

El cultivo de la caña de azucar lo introdujeron los Árabes en España durante la Edad Media y lo cultivaban en los valles litorales de Málaga y Granada desde donde ya en la Edad Moderna tras el descubrimiento de América, paso a cultivarse en las Islas del Caribe y zonas pantanosas del litoral de La Luisiana.

[@LouisianaDread]

It actually began in New Guinea and became more mainlined in India and China.

[@Trains1536]

Great video, i li,e to catch trauns in New Iberia, also, could you make a historical video on the BNSF Lafayette Sub that runs from Avondale LA to Iowa LA

[@LouisianaDread]

I’ll do some research and add it to the list. I’m happy your enjoyed the video!

[@enriquegonzaga3865]

Hi, I am from Old Iberia ❤

[@LouisianaDread]

So cool!

[@raybethel769]

Tht last Point about Oil and Gas hit different for me, being tht my Family Land was STOLEN by some of the Most Prominent Family's in New Iberia along with the Oil Field Company. My views on this City is very much different from others

[@LouisianaDread]

It’s a sad reality that many have experienced in this state. Large corporations taking advantage of those who aren’t in the circle or even know what “mineral rights” are.

[@raybethel769]

@Louisiana Dread Read "The Ugly Secret at Little Bayou," its an article written in the magazine "THE INDEPENDENT," its Deeper than Rap, let me know your thoughts

Yes that is correct.

Just a heads up, Herodotus was Greek, not Roman.

[@LouisianaDread]

Ah sorry about that. I knew I got something mixed up, thank you for the correction. He was born in Halicarnassus in modern-day Turkey, which was a Greek city under Persian rule.

[@sharpenflat6002]

Greatest author ever is from there. James Lee Burke

[@LouisianaDread]

That’s awesome!

[@juny2816]

More than likely they were Cannibals. Many tribes across the country ate humans. It's not reported often and most of the books that were written about it are no longer published. Native Americans didn't drop out of the sky or spring from the earth like an apple tree. They migrated here, so why is there migration considered sacrosanct? They raged war on each other, captured, enslaved, butchered and ate each other. They were in no way this homogenous society living as one with mother earth and father sky. That's just a lie. The revisionist history rewrite by the political correction movement is erasing our past. I predict in 20 years maybe less, white settlers of this country will be painted just as murderous as the 1st, 2nd or 3rd Reich if not more so.

[@LouisianaDread]

Interesting!
