| The author is wrong with regards to the meaning of the song used by Bujol to name his plantation. It is a cry for a country lost (in this case probably Acadia) and it probably reminded him of the stories of his grand parents having been forced out of Acadia in 1755. it may have been a song that his grand parents and parents sung when he was a child. | ||

| Document | 1882 | Pelico Plantation |
| How the plantation "Pelico" was namerd. Source: The Bunkie Record (Bunkie, Louisiana) 30 June 1939, Friday, Page 4 June 30, 1939 PELICO PLANTATION - In his splendid book, "The Flight of a Century in Ascension Parish," Sidney A. Marchand gives descriptions of many of the famous old plantations of Ascension parish, some of which are quoted from an early writer who had known many of the early planters of this section and who had left much interesting detail in his reminiscences. One such reminiscence, written in 1882 and probably a story written for the local paper, bears the title, "Bujol's Pelico," and is as follows: After Gaudin, came jolly Auguste Broussard, who lived where now resides Ernest Melancon. Valery Leblanc - dit (says) Billard, next owned the place. He and his wife are dead. "Pelico" come next - built up, little by little, by Edmond Bujol who died last year (1881). Pharaon Leblanc, Victor, Gideon, Joachim, and Trasimond Landry, were the former owners. All are dead. It belongs at present to Bujol and J. Emile St. Martin, son and son-in-law of the founder. That "Pelico" may prosper under their management as it increased in the care of "old man Edmon" is the wish of those who knew and loved the father and now desire the success of the planters, his representatives." Having been told by several that the word "Pelico" was probably a made-word, coming from "Pelican Company," we began a search for some one who could give us the correct information. A request to Mr. Marchand resulted in the address of Mrs. M. E. Doods, who was born in 1844, has lived her entire life in and near Donaldsonville, and who is frequently consulted by those who desire data of the early days of the town and parish. Our visit to Mrs. Dodds destroyed the theory that the word came from a once great planting corporation, the "Pelican Company" but resulted in the story of the origin of the word as applied to the plantation today. This story we must begin at old St. Michaels historic old Sacred Heart Convent, located at Convent, in St. James parish. Founded in 1825, St. Michael's was one of the first great schools of Louisiana and the daughters of many generations of Louisiana families spent their school life with-in its confines. Mrs. Dodds, as Emilia Bouchereau, was a pupil there just before and probably during the Civil War. (And, inadvertently, we feel that we must here enter a personal note by relating that our own mother, and her younger sister, were also pupils of the old Convent, immediately preceding the Civil War, and that Mrs. Dodds knew and still remembers both, quite well. And with great reverence we also record that Mrs. Dodds is the only person we have known who was our mother's schoolmate. And that this meeting was brought about through our love for the Pelican but gives us greater love for that famous old bird.) The Civil War deprived the Bouchereau family of their lands and their wealth, and the daughter, Mrs. Dodds, beautifully educated and a skilled musician, in the year 1867 became a governess in the home of Edmond Bujol. Mrs. Dodds relates today that she was "so young and happy and always singing." And it seems that one of her favorite songs was "Silvio Pellico," and that Mr. Bujol himself became so intrigued with the song that he gave the name to his plantation. Mrs. Dodds sings the song today and gave me a copy of the words, written in French. The theme is all about the return of Spring and the rain and the perfume of the flowers, and the lament of an exile to this country. Of the translation or meaning of the word "Pellico" the song gives no idea. She knows many other old songs and had stacks of sheet music that is priceless. We were allowed to read through these and made notes of the titles of some of the Confederate War Songs - and we record them below: Beauregard - Beauregard Bonnie Blue Flag God and Our Rights God Save the South God Will Defend the Right Missouri My Maryland New Red, White, and Blue Origin of the Stars and Bars Richmond is a Hard Road to Travel Southern Marseillaise Southerner's Chant of Defiance The Confederate Flag The Stars of Our Banner There's Life In the Old Land Yet The Volunteers We Conquer or We Die. | ||

| Documents |  | North west side of DonaldsonVille La. in 1858 also known as Modeste (southern part of region) La. The map was made in 1858 and published in 1859. Shows the land owned by Edmond Bijol in Modeste / Donalsonville La in 1858. We see 4 parcels of land with Edmond Bujol name on it. It is possible that the larger section (1) is Edmond Bijol(father 1818) Pelico Plantation, and the smaller portions are Edmond (2, 3, 4) (son 1838). We presume this, since the sons land is beside the land of Henry Bruyere (4) which happens to be his father-in-law. Did he get that portion of land from his father-in-law? Source:Norman B.
