Louisiana Its Colonial History And Romance PDF Download

Excerpt from History of Louisiana, Vol. 1 When I had finished my composition, like most people who act first and then set themselves to thinking, I began to guess, as some of my Yankee friends would say, whether I could not apply the fruits of my labor to some practical purpose. I had achieved one thing, it'is true - I had rendered seclusion pleas ant to myself; but could I not do more? Would there not be sweet satisfaction in extracting something useful to my fel low-citizens from the careless and unpretending effusions, the object of which had originally been to accelerate the flight of a few heavy hours, which I descried at a short distance, coming upon me with their leaden wings and their gouty feet!
