The following excerpt is from an article published in the August 4, 2013 edition of Evangeline Today.
Two authors are finding photographs of Evangeline Parish they will include in a book chronicling the parish’s history, as part of a national series by Arcadia Publishing.

Author Jane Vidrine, a lifelong resident of Belaire Cove, has teamed with co-author Jean Kiesel of Lafayette, who authored an Images of America photographic history of Lafayette, published in 2007.
Vidrine said although novels have been published that are set in or around Evangeline Parish, the book she and Kiesel are working on is the first pictorial history she is aware of. The 128-page book will include images of people, churches, schools, businesses and other features of the parish from about 1911 to the present. Among the more current photos to be featured in the book are past festivals that continue to be held today.
