Description

A series of vignettes about the Cajuns of Louisiana-their music, superstitions, household arts, systems of land ownership, time-honored methods of farming and such unique Cajun institutions as the boucherie de campagne, the little black buggy, the fais-dodo, and cafe noir. A selection of the author's rare photographs from the 1930's adds to this disarming portrait of Cajun life. - from Amzon
