We have explored many facets of the life and works of Father Adrien-Emmanuel, an important nineteenth-century Louisianian.
 

Having begun our quest on Lacombe’s oak-lined Main Street, we now find ourselves at the thousand-year-old live oak tree where, according to local belief, the body of Father Rouquette now rests. However, our quest does not have to end here. You might explore other writings by Rouquette or even take a tour of his beloved Lacombe in order to penetrate still further into the life and work of this fascinating American poet and missionary.
