Louisiana Stories

Growing Up in the Bayou State



Sulphur author Ron LeLeux and Monroe native John F. Jones have together compiled a wonderful collection of interviews and photographs into a book titled Louisiana Stories – Growing Up in the Bayou State.



LeLeux and Jones traveled across Louisiana collecting a series of entertaining stories about growing up in Louisiana. Together they interviewed and photographed 37 interesting people from around the state who shared their stories and our history.



This book preserves one of Louisiana's greatest resources – its people. Louisiana Stories – Growing Up in the Bayou State is a tribute to those wonderful Louisianians that came before us and to those who will follow.



​This book celebrates the joie de vivre that is uniquely Louisiana.

Louisiana Stories is a delightful collection of captivating and very entertaining stories about growing up in Louisiana. The fascinating tales told by an impressive cross-section of our population are as diverse as the people of this great state.
