Gearhead,

If you like history and the Civil War era history, the next time you're around the south Louisiana area, in the Hammond/Greenwell Springs area, take the "short trip" north to Tangiphoa (half way between Amite and Kentwood) and stop by the Camp Moore Confederate Cemetary/Museum. Interesting area and a lot of local historical information. Southeastern's library has an excellent reference library. Our neighbor when I was a kid was Mrs Irene Morris. She wrote a number of books on the Kentwood legacy and the people who lived in and around the St Helena/Tanghipoa Parish area. She donated all her records to Southeastern just before she died. Much of that is still yet to be released, but it's a "treasure trove" of local history dating from about 1800-current.
