“Abandoned residential homes are common in the area—often the casualties of severe damage from hurricanes—but what I find fascinating is the mettle of the Cajuns we encountered and befriended. They may lose their roof and be forced to abandon their home, but it is a near surety that they will remain in the same area, raising a family. There is great cultural pride in these resourceful people, and it is evidenced by the tenacity of those who face the power of Gulf hurricanes every year, and yet remain.” AbandonedLouisianaHurricanePride QuotesTenacity QuotesMike CorrellSulphurCajunAbandoned HouseLouisiana History Book:Abandoned Sulphur, Louisiana Source: Abandoned Sulphur, Louisiana
“We came to discover a world rich with culture, history, and bayous. This flat swampy territory is riddled with waterways, snaking like veins and arteries between forests filled with crooked cypress trees. Sulphur is home to a Cajun populace, and unlike its more well-known southeastern counterpart, New Orleans, which is predominantly Creole, it was originally settled by Acadians.” AbandonedLouisianaCulture QuotesLouisiana BayouMike CorrellCypress TreesSulphurCajunLouisiana HistoryAcadian History Book:Abandoned Sulphur, Louisiana Source: Abandoned Sulphur, Louisiana
