I had forgotten how much information is packed in one small book. <br />The descriptions and reviews should state that Mr. Kane lays out the histories of the families who occupied those Plantation Houses. Any one story could lead to a novel, or, another series. <br />I enjoyed reading about the "French People" who were content with a few acres and a dozen children. The ones who watched the acquisitive Plantation Owners come and go. Those where my Husband's people... now referred to as "Cajuns." Mr Kane made it very clear that there were many people living in the Bayous who did not agree with owning slaves. People who were content to enjoy the beauty in which they lived, and, the bounties it provided. <br />The book is easy to read, and, flows always to new, interesting stories, and, descriptions. Complete with photographs, and, a nice map of the river, bayous, and, plantations. <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7216111125120654631.post-67963326516663073872019-07-24T22:00:52.497-05:002019-07-24T22:00:52.497-05:00Do you remember if your uncle wrote a book on John...Do you remember if your uncle wrote a book on John C.

By the time I was old enough to understand who he was and what he did for a living, his mental capacity was severely diminished. He had suffered a stroke in the mid-1960s before Alzheimer’s afflicted him. Very sad that such a brilliant mind was destroyed by illness - he lost nearly 2 decades of productive time. I think of him often.Warren Reynoldshttp://02038.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7216111125120654631.post-68655145671502787992011-10-12T15:03:53.735-05:002011-10-12T15:03:53.735-05:00I had never heard of Harnett T.

It is informative to read what you wrote about him; I look forward to reading this book, which is subtitled "The Grand Manner in Louisiana."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
