Cane River: A Ghost Story
Scott A. Johnson
Batwing Press
, 2008
A good scary read.
I have read Scott's work since An American Haunting and Deadlands and I have got to say that this was a good creepy read. If you are looking for a story about a vengeful, unsettling spirit who bends dark vegetation to it's will, I say visit Cane River and give ...
Cane River (Oprah's Book Club)
Lalita Tademy
Grand Central Publishing
, 2005
Totally engrossing read
I must confess that if this had not been a heavily reviewed book it would not have crossed by path, but I am so glad it did. It was really wonderful to read this book. When I read such a compelling story it pains me that people wonder why we 'dwell' on the past so ...
The Forgotten People: Cane River's Creoles of Color
Gary B. Mills
Louisiana State University Press
, 1977
Eradicating historical stereotypes
Books such as THE FORGOTTEN PEOPLE: CANE RIVER'S CREOLES OF COLOR and BLACK MASTERS: A FREE FAMILY OF COLOR IN THE OLD SOUTH go a long way toward correcting the over-simplified views we have of the gens de couleur (people of color) in American history. A slave (the ...

Cane River is absolutely enthralling. The story of Elisabeth, Suzette, Philomene and Emily is heartbreaking yet uplifting. It reaffirmed my faith in family and love. Get this book, you'll love it!

Jean Toomer and the Harlem Renaissance
Rutgers University Press
, 2000
Gives Great Insite into Cane and Toomer and Their Respective Place in the Harlem Renaissance
I'd recomend this book to anyone interested in digging deeper into the mistery that is Cane and Jean Toomer. Their is some litterary analysis but mostly the book disects Cane's role in the H.R. and the spiritual, racial, and philosophical motives Toomer may have ...

Weatherby: The Man. the Gun. the Legend.
Grits Gresham

Tom Gresham
Cane River Pub Co, 1992
Fascinating Story about a Fascinating Man
If you're a Weatherby enthusiast, then this book is considered the defacto authority on Roy Weatherby. I collect his earlier rifles, and this book shed so much light on the man behind these beautiful rifles. His styling is copied to this day, and no other rifle ...
Cane River Cuisine: Louisiana's Finest Recipes
Service League of Natchitoches Inc.
Wimmer Companies
, 1987
Wonderful old style cooking
This is not my first time owning this book. I am actually replacing the edition my Grandmother gave me in 1988. I loaned it to someone about 3 years ago and she still hesitates to tell me when I will get it back. I don't like the fact that I haven't gotten it back ...
The Cane Groves of Narmada River: Erotic Poems from Old India
City Lights Publishers
, 2001
beautiful and evocative poetry
This is beautiful poetry from ancient India. It is rich and sensual, evocative and erotic, and not always in the overtly sexual way of the Kama Sutra. It engages life, society, and importantly, nature in all its lost beauty in India, the fragrant jasmine vines, the ...
At Fault (Penguin Classics)
Kate Chopin
Penguin Classics
, 2002
Try this one...
If you've read The Awakening and could appreciate the ideas and writing, but were not as impressed with it as others tend to be, try At Fault. It's compact story that I wished was developed further because of its originality and intrigue. Don't take Kate Chopin off ...
Wizzy River Roots: A Family Memory Celebrating Cane River Creole Mother-Wit
Glenda Chelette-Holley
starving writers publishing
, 2007
My Friend surprised me
I started reading Wizzy River Roots and found the work well done. It made me wish for a heritage like the one Glenda experienced. I have heard many of those same sayings and some of her people look like someone I know. So it just shows we are different and similar ...
