  5. See our latest post on the Opelousas Massacre in Louisiana in 1868. This massacre was a very serious setback for Reconstruction in Louisiana. #RaceRiot #RaceMassacre #Reconstruction #Opelousas #Redemption #KnightsofWhiteCamelia

  6. Today I had a chance to photograph this famous #LiveOak #tree located in #Opelousas, #Louisiana. So for a belated #ThickTrunkTuesday I present the Jim Bowie Oak! This large tree is located on the south side of the courthouse square, on a small plot of land known as the Jim Bowie Courtyard, which is now between two cute shops. This courtyard is supposed to be the location where Jim Bowie operated a blacksmith shop. The Jim Bowie Oak is estimated to be 350+ years old.
