      About This Book

      Flood on the Rio Teche is a fictional account of the founding of New Iberia, Louisiana by the Malaguenos in 1779 during the time of a devastating flood. Seventeen-year old Antonio Romero migrates with his family and other settlers from Malaga, Spain. The family is assailed by hardships: flooding of their home site, disease, poisonous snake bites, crop failure, kidnapping, and family breakup. They befriend nearby Chitimacha tribesmen who save them many times. Antonio and his mother travel by keelboat to New Orleans where they develop smallpox.
