Talk:Riverlake

birthplace question
Was see Ernest Gaines born in Riverlake the mansion or at Riverlake plantation? www.pctourism.org/ (under "Famous Natives"), and www.louisiana.edu/Academic/LiberalArts/ENGL/Creative/Gaines.htm which has "In his childhood, the center of his world was the old slave quarters on the River Lake Plantation, where five generations of his family lived", and WP all suggest it was the plantation, rather than the house.

 * Hmm, I don't understand what the dispute is. Is the mansion the plantation house on the plantation, or not on the plantation?  Maybe the person was born in the mansion on the plantation.  A good source, probably reliable on this question, would be the historical writeup in the NRHP application for the property, which would be available for free upon request to the U.S. National Register (send request to nr_reference (at) nps.gov.  doncram (talk) 17:39, 8 March 2009 (UTC)
