People of the Bayou, written by Christopher Hallowell, is an affectionate portrayal of a vanishing culture. It takes an intimate look at the day-to-day experience of the trappers, fishermen, and craftsmen who live almost entirely off the land in the marshes near the mouth of the Mississippi, and includes discussions of their history, cultural challenges, and environmental threats.
