The Choctaw of Bayou Lacomb, St. Tammany Parish, Louisiana is a book written by David I. Bushnell that provides a comprehensive study of the Choctaw Native American tribe that inhabited the Bayou Lacomb region of Louisiana. The book is a detailed account of the tribe's history, culture, and way of life, with a focus on their interactions with European settlers and the impact of colonialism on their community. Bushnell's research is based on extensive fieldwork and interviews with members of the Choctaw community, as well as archival sources and historical records. The book covers topics such as the tribe's social organization, religious beliefs, and economic activities, including hunting, fishing, and agriculture. The author also delves into the Choctaw's relationship with the French and Spanish colonial powers, as well as their involvement in the American Revolution and the War of 1812. He examines the impact of the Indian Removal Act of 1830, which forced the Choctaw and other tribes to relocate to the Indian Territory (present-day Oklahoma), and the subsequent loss of their ancestral lands and cultural heritage. Overall, The Choctaw of Bayou Lacomb, St. Tammany Parish, Louisiana is a valuable resource for anyone interested in Native American history and culture, particularly the Choctaw tribe and their experiences in Louisiana.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
