Yankee Autumn in Acadiana (1979) is a narrative by David C. Edmonds of the invasion of south-western Louisiana by Union troops led by Major General Nathaniel Prentice Banks in October-December 1863.¹ This was Banks' second attempt to conquer Texas after a defeat at Sabine Pass on September 8, 1863.

Yankee Autumn in Acadiana won the 1980 Louisiana Literary Award of the Louisiana Library Association.

Mr. Edmonds' interest in this period of history began when he attempted to unravel the mysteries of an old Acadian-style house on Bayou Carencro near Sunset, Louisiana where he lived with his family.

David C. Edmonds is a former Fulbright-Hayes professor and specialist in international and development economics, holds a Ph.D. degree from the American University of Washington, D.C.^{citation needed} and has attended The University of Southern Mississippi, University of Notre Dame and Louisiana State University.
