Bonaventure: A Prose Pastoral of Acadian Louisiana

Hardcover (Forgotten Books Feb. 14, 2019)
Excerpt from Bonaventure: A Prose Pastoral of Acadian LouisianaBayou teche is the dividing line. On its left is the land of bayous, lakes, and Swamps on its right, the beautiful Short-turfed prairies of Western Louisiana. The Vermilion River divides the vast prairie into the countries of Attakapas on the east and Opelousas on the west. On its west bank, at its head of navigation, lies the sorry little town of Vermilionville, near about which on the north and east the prairie rises and falls with a gentle swell, from whose crests one may, as from the top of a wave, somewhat overlook the sur rounding regions.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
