Louisiana Voices

Louisiana Voices is a program to promote Louisiana culture, including authors and writing. I chose to feature a short selection from Tales about People and Places in Louisiana, by W.C. Abbott, because it reminded me of a visit with my grandparents. He actually was their contemporary. His nostalgic anecdotes and vignettes depict a rural way of life that has all but vanished from the South of today. Enjoy and share with an elderly relative. You'll both be glad you did! - David Faucheux.

Addendum from The Other David: David worked from the talking-book verson. Amazon says this book is out of print. If so and if Louisiana schools could obtain permission for free or at a limited cost, Tales might be an excellent candidate for digitization by Distributed Proofreaders. - David Rothman.
