I think this is a good entry for the Acrostic Poetry contest.
You've used your verse to share a bit of history with us.
Well done and good luck to you with the contest.

Good luck in the contest. In my neck of the woods, the eau is pronounced no and is sometimes spelled with an x at the end. This is a good poem of a piece of history I know.

The name occurs throughout the French Canadian community where it is usually pronounced :no: - I don?t know much about how often the :x: ending is common. Glad to hear that you have an historical interest in the name. Also, thank you very much for your 6 stars. It means a lot, especially to my sister who is 77 years old. - Lobber

I think the eaux might be an Acadian- Cajun thing.

Hello Lobber, an interesting and well written Acrostic. It tells a good story and your author notes are very interesting. I have heard of them crossing America and something about discovering new plants an animals - scant knowledge actually. Good luck in the contest. Regards Dorothy

Yes, I think everyone has heard of it. They were brave men. They may not have known all of the hardships, but they must have known it wouldn't be easy. You don't meet people like that much anymore.

This was an excellent subject for an acrostic poem. That you had personal history involved made it all the better. People who read history understand the squaw reference and won't take offense. History is what it is, warts and all. Very good job. Good luck in the contest.
