		Live oak is one of north America's relatively few broad-leaf trees that retain its green leaves year round just as most conifers keep their needles.

	South Trekker - St. Martinville, LA
		Whatever the case, St. Martinville preserves its native myth in the form of the Evangeline Oak, situated in a little park along the edge of Bayou Teche.

		My particular point of intrigue with St. Martinville is that this was the home of Alcibiade DeBlanc, a colonel in the Confederate army and later an anti-Republican activist and the founder of the Knights of the White Camellia.
