About This Item
New York: E.P. Dutton, 1979. Book. Illus. by Deffes, Joe. Fine. Cloth. First. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. xii, 141pp., ill., map. Fine in VG but price-clipped DJ. "The sprawling marshland of the lower Mississippi has spawned one of the most interesting indigenous cultures in all America- the Cajuns. Since the eighteenth century, they have clung to their ways, including their remarkable French-based patois, their deep love of the land and water around them, their world-famous cuisine, and their enviable love of life... A gifted historian, Mr. Hallowell adds a novelist's feeling for the nuances of individual character to this haunting record of a place in transition - another fresh corner of American culture facing assimilation into the mainstream, a way of life that may be gone before we know it.".
