http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/122559655

The bulk of the collection consists of invitations, public relations materials, and photographs pertaining to Mouton's speaking engagements and his involvement in clubs and organizations. Subjects covered include the "true story" of Evangeline, Cajun culture and lore, and world trade. Clippings and photographs reflect Mouton's interest in the promotion of the Port of New Orleans, water transportation, foreign trade, and commerce. The Young Men's Business Club of New Orleans is documented by clippings (1933) and by a bound copy of ACTION, the club's official publication. Photographs depict the Louisiana governor Sam Jones and his promotion of the Port of New Orleans, Dudley J. LeBlanc and Acadian girls, foreign delegations at world trade functions, and a slave cabin in Saint Martins Parish. Diaries (1959-1972), some written in Salinas County, Arkansas, discuss gardening, participation in church and recreational functions, speaking engagements, family news, and the weather. Scrapbooks (1929-1965) contain clippings. Some photographs in the collection have been removed from the scrapbooks.
