By Ben Windham
EPES - It's hard to get lost in downtown Epes, but for the life of me I couldn't find my way to the old French fort. I finally decided to ask the postmistress.
She set me straight. I followed her detailed instructions to the letter.
I passed the pink building with the sign reading "Nu-Image Style Shop," made the first right and drove my old Ford Explorer gingerly over the rattling grates of a cattle gap.

"You'll think you're lost," she warned, "but you're not."
It was a hot morning for lost souls. Outcroppings of chalk, remnants of a seabed millions of years old, were everywhere; but the air smelled of dry dirt and sweet summer hay.

PREFACE.
The circumscribed limits of this volume make aword of preface necessary for that general submission of authorities and credentials of which particular note could not be made.

It is to these excellent, painstaking compilers that we are indebted for the publication in bookform of the only two unofficial documents of Bienvillein existence, — a letter to his brother, and his will; also, for much new and interesting information about Charles Le Moyne and his family. The authors explain the lack of fuller and more private deta
