A little more history.. the man who dredged the area 30 or so years ago says they found remnants of a fort right here. wagon wheels, personal items and crates of these things. they kept the artifacts and buried the stuff I found on the bank while dredging. Also, a short search on Goggle and I learned the 11th Regiment infantry formed in 1861 in Wisconsin was in this area (Bayou Long) and surrounding areas in 1864. The Prof. I gave samples to works at a Civil War museum and will let me know later this week anything else he can find. Masraum, it's going out in the mail today.
