From the front flap: "Once on a time America, too, had princes who held court in their castles, in the lush fertility of Louisiana. Along the Great Sea of the Mississippi, and at the edges of the bayous, an empire unfolded during the 18th and 19th centuries. Some found the terrain sinister in its semi-tropical splendor; but those who fitted themselves to it knew a wealth beyond belief. Soaring mansions rose amid the cotton and sugar cane. Few kings could boast the retainers that clustered about the prince-planters. Here were the witty, urbane Creoles who made this a corner of France. Then came the earnest, less easy-going American who merged slowly with the Creoles, to become part of a way of life perculiarly 'a la Louisiana." A clean very presentable signed copy in a Brodart mylar jacket.
