A Flower of France: A Story of Old Louisiana

Paperback (Forgotten Books July 5, 2012)
Orleans I sland. The awakening beams gilded the gray-green festoons of moss-draped, century-old cypresses, and touched caressingly the white-winged herons that rose softly from shadowy wood-depths and took silent ilight outward and upward in the October air. A flock of vultures, many as a gathering of crows in autumn, sailed low over the swamps and with outstretched necks reached eagerly toward the west, where the mighty river of the New World dragged its way to the sea through many channels. Occult sounds drifted along the brown waters of the bayous smothered, misty sounds of forest creatures. Now and then the shrill scream of a bird would cut sharply across the hum ming song of the insects and the soft rustle of the reeds, and again the muffled howls of animals would come across the vast levels and warn one of dangers lurking in the savage gloom of the forests.(Typographical errors above are due to OCR software and don't occur in the book.)About the Publisher Forgotten Books is a publisher of historical writings, such as: Philosophy, Classics, Science, Religion, History, Folklore and Mythology.Forgotten Books' Classic Reprint Series utilizes the latest technology to regenerate facsimiles of historically important writings.
