French Canadian accent on Lewis & Clark expedition

[Elizabeth Gibbens]

Or talk to an expert on the French Canadian refugees now known as Cajuns, or
Acadians. The University of Southwestern Louisiana might be a good place to
look. In particular, you could begin with Glenn Conrad, a historian of
Acadiana, the region of Louisiana where many descendants of the French
Canadian settlers still live.

see if stories of pioneers, etc., attempt to reproduce French Canadian
dialect?  I know virtually nothing of this lit, but I'm sure others on the
list would know of any such.
