Rachel of Old Louisiana - Avery O. Craven - Bog

Rachel O'Connor was an extraordinary woman. For nearly fifty years (from 1797 to 1846), she lived on a plantation near Bayou Sara. And for twenty-five of those years, she managed the plantation alone. Not a biography in the conventional sense, Avery Craven's charming little book is rather the story of Rachel and the Louisiana in which she lived.
