Show Notes

In this episode of the Bear Grease podcast, we are looking into the actual events of the April 12, 1926, one-day Trappers' War in St. Bernard Parish, Louisiana where mercenaries hired by Judge Leander Perez mounted a machine gun on a boat and attempted to kill the Islenos trappers on Delacroix Island.  We will also look deeper into the life of Leander Perez while asking why so many corrupt leaders have come out of this region of the country.
