History

Drake and Son, 1967. Arriving first in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, they petitioned the US Congress to sell them property and received permission to buy four townships at $2 per acre—provided that they would cultivate grape vines and olive trees. These French aristocrats and their comrades did not find pioneer life in Alabama to be favorably comparable to Parisian court life.Smith, Winston. Within a few months they were to find that their new homes did not fall under the territories encompassed by the congressional approval, and the Vine and Olive Colony was soon forced to move. Other prominent figures among them included Lieutenant-General Baron Charles Lallemand Lallemand, Count Bertrand Clausel, Joseph Lakanal, Simon Chaudron, Pasqual Luciani, Colonel Jean-Jerome Cluis, Jean-Marie Chapron, Colonel Nicholas Raoul, and Frederic Ravesies.
