Excerpt from Memoirs of a French Village: A Chronicle of Old Prairie Du Rocher, 1722-1972 The violent days were over in the great American Bottom. The ocean bid farewell to the Mississippi region. When man came, he saw what had happened. He marvelled. Here was a fertile valley between walls of carved limestone, marble, and sandstone. Primitive man was compelled by environmental factors in determining a habitat. The first man (people) came to Prairie du Rocher because of the rock bluffs. The bluffs offered man hope. By this time the great river no longer predominated the whole valley; however, man could never be sure of it's channel. Since floods were common, he hesitated to dwell far from the high ground lest he fall prey to the unpredictable river.
