Synopsis
Dive into frontier life and Civil War memories from northern Louisiana, told with warmth and hard-won wisdom.
This collection brings to life a region and era through personal stories and shared history.
These pages weave settlement tales, community growth, and war-time experiences into a vivid portrait of Dixie in the midst of transformation. The narratives follow families, neighbors, and travelers as they carve farms, build schools, and endure upheaval, all set against the lush, challenging landscape of Cane Ridge and beyond. Through memoir and anecdote, the book invites readers to feel the daily rhythms, friendships, and loyalties that shaped a region.

- Community and schooling in rugged, rural settings
- War stories and the voices of veterans and neighbors
- A sense of place: the Louisiana landscape, rivers, and local culture

Présentation de l'éditeur
One of the wisest and most beautiful acts related in this book is that referred to by Governor Mc Enery in the conclusion of the story of the Gee Place: When Doctor Egan and my father died their sons came together and agreed not to prolong the feud of their fathers A ccordingly, the matter was dropped and forgotten, and there are now no warmer friends in the state than the sons of those two good men. THE CHILDREN OF THOSE WHO WORE THE BLUE and THE CHILDREN OF THOSE WHO WORE THE GRAY, in pursuing the same wise and patriotic course, have given to the nations history ITS MOST GLORIOUS CHAPTER. To these sons and daughters, NORTH AND SOUTH, this little labor of love IS DEDICATED.
