Author Description

Excerpt from Louisiana Conservationist, Vol. 6: December, 1953 When it was light enough to make out the outline of the river we eased down to the boat landing. The banks of Tensas at low water are steep and often slick with the early morning dew. We crossed quietly, the silence disturbed only by an occasional bump of the paddle on the side of the boat. Glow of cigarettes still made a piere ing hole in the semi-darkness as feet scrambled up the west bank of the river. We had waited about nine months for this and the time had come. Each hunter wanted to be alone, promising to return before noon. When you are ready to re turn, they were told, put your back to the sun and walk until you reach the river; for those afraid of getting lost, the advice was to follow the bank of Beelar in an! Easterly direction. All agreed and the hunt was on. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
