Du Crow’s Nest – Original Artwork by Canadian Artist Pascal Fuselier

Description

“Du Crow’s Nest par Pascal Fuselier” (From the Crow’s Nest by Pascal Fuselier) was how this writer began his weekly newspaper column in the little Cajun town of Mamou, Louisiana. Starting in 1971, Pascal wrote hundreds of articles; he offered 30 years of political commentary, current events, Cajun French language instruction, old war and sea stories from his time in the US Navy during World War 2 and the US Merchant Marines, and plenty of historical and cultural anecdotes from French Louisiana. Editor Lisa McCauley offers PascalÕs most pointed, entertaining, and remarkable writings for the first time as a collection Ð gathered from Mamou residentsÕ attics, garages, and scrapbooks. Although Pascal has passed on, it is the editorÕs hope that his stories will always – forever – remain with us.
