While we know our northern friends may not feel it, in the South, Spring is
here. So we thought we'd share a few of our gardening sites appropriate
for this time of the year. Along with gardening, there's grilling, and getting
ready to diet so that you can fit back into that bathing suit this summer!
Chatot. A
tribe or band which the French settled south of Ft St Louis, on Mobile
bay, Ala., in 1709. Bienville, wishing to change his settlement, "selected
a place where the nation of the Chatots were residing, and gave them in
exchange for it a piece of territory fronting on Dog river, 2 leagues
farther down" (Pcnicaut,1709, in French, Hist. Coll. La., 1, 103, 1869).
According to Baudry des Lozieres (Voy., 1794) the Chatot and Tohome tribes
were related to the Choctaw and spoke the French and Choctaw languages.
