Bayou Folk

Bayou Folk (1894) is a collection of 23 short stories that tell of life in 19th century Louisiana – on the bayou, in small towns, plantations, and New Orleans. It's a kaleidoscope of locations, types of stories, and races of characters – whites, Creoles, Acadians, 'Negros', and 'Mulattoes' are all mixed together here. Most are poor and many are illiterate. The stories take place mostly after the Civil War. This edition has been fully restored with modern typesetting, custom cover design.
