Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Here Dey Come- Wild Tchoupitouslas
Well, they say that Google is a great friend.
:o)
Here's what I found out by using that search engine just for "Tchoupitoulas" -correctly spelled:
"Tchoupitoulas Plantation"
Site of plantation acquired in 1808 by Joseph Soniat du Fossat. Visited by Governor William C. C. Claiborne and, legend says, privateer Jean Lafitte. Chapitoulas Indians, whose name means river people, lived in this area.
Located in Harahan, District 2, Hwy 48, Jefferson Parish.
