Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are many reasons that growing up as a Cajun was fun. Its been fifty years since I penned the first story in this compilation. Down the Bayou Cajuns grew from youths into adults one story at a time. I kept adding until I had reached bona fide adulthood. Follow along and youll learn to speak some new Cajun-English words, as well as quite a few Cajun-French words. Youll find that at the beginning of each story I use half English, half Frenchthats the way we Cajuns speak. Then there is a translation of the passage. Follow me, nicknamed May-neg, along the bumpy path from childhood into adulthood as I kept finding myself in predicament after predicament; times that, as I look back, werent as bad as they seemed at the time. It is a snapshot of a more innocent time.
