Ep. 7 - Francis Hebert: Louisiana Freight Train Hobo

LISTEN ON SPOTIFY

Join us as we sit down with Mr. Francis Hebert, who just celebrated his 96th birthday. Born in 1928 in Southwest Louisiana, Francis has lived a life that reads like an epic novel. 

His book titled: "Brother Crow and Me" is a memoir of Francis A. Hebert who was born during the Great Depression era and who gives readers a look back at simpler, but harder times. He recounts his own adventures from boyhood, living in the swamps of SW Louisiana, making his way early, hopping freight trains across country, through soldiering with the U.S. Army Air Force, doing construction work, owning a trucking business, and inventing mechanical devices. All the while he maintains a strong connection to crows and a unique perspective on life.

    Francis was my husband’s uncle. We always loved visiting him and listening to his stories! I bought his book at Bourgeois’s in 2023, and thoroughly enjoyed it! It was so heart-warming to listen to him on your podcast!
