The three ledger books that emerged through the efforts of the local Clerk of Court became, in themselves, a series of capsulized glimpses into the citizenry of the area's early agrarian foundations. In extraordinary condition, these ledgers held an unprecedented set of the original livestock brands and marks of bustling bayou cattle country. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eEach registration entry furnished a record of the progression of settlement of the parish. The registration of a brand often served as the family's calling card upon making Terrebonne Parish their home. \u003ci\u003eLivestock Brands and Marks: An Unexpected Bayou Country History: 1822-1946 Pioneer Families: Terrebonne Parish, Louisiana\u003c\/i\u003e is designed not only to share the actual registration treasures of all 1140 brands in the brand books themselves, but also to chronicle a short history of laws governing animal identification, to document advances in forms of ownership identification, and to familiarize the reader with both ancient and more recent livestock breeds that received brands and other marks recorded in those three ledger books. Three hundred black-and-white and color illustrations illuminate this fascinating history.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Christopher Everette Cenac\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0989759407\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780989759403\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University Press of Mississippi\/J.P.C., L.L.C\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/09\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 400\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 4.57lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 12.35h x 9.34w x 1.20d","brand":"Christopher Everette Cenac","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43947604705535,"sku":"9780989759403","price":69.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_cd0ea12c-a108-476a-85ed-d407f80a5042.jpg?v=1681519702","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/livestock-brands-and-marks-christopher-everette-cenac-9780989759403","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
