"Lean back into Louisiana lore with an earful of New Orleans jazz and a bellyful of Cajun cuisine. But when the music dies down and the lights flicker out, hushed conversations bleed into the darker mysteries of the Pelican State. Storied outlaws like John Murrell, Eugene Bunch and Leather Britches Smith steal into the room. Voodoo priestesses Marie Laveau and Julia Brown are already there, along with the Phantom Whistler and the Axeman of New Orleans. Folklorist Alan Brown educates and entertains with tales of the unseemly, bizarre and otherworldly, like the legends of the Rougarou, the Lutin and the Honey Island Swamp Monster."--Back cover.

Excerpt from Legends of Louisiana: The Romance of the Royal Oak, And, the Brother of the Sultan He. Choicest of the legends of Louisiana is that concerning Charlotte, daughter of the Duke of Brunswick and your concurrence in this opinion is awaited when you will have unfolded its sentimental episodes. One must regress into an earlier, more romantic, epoch to credit this love-story, for today few are given the understanding of the sacred arts, and rare indeed are the souls willing to suffer immo lation and the purification by that white fire which prepares one fitly to receive true passion. Our hearts are set to the horologe of haste - a tempo which Love flies in dismay. This is a century of tempest and defence and the recoil of the buffeted is to frivolity and a desperate carelessness rather than the repose of awesome Love. Our contacts are electrical rather than magnetic. Our touch is a grasp rather than the medium of a thrill. Therefore Love languishes and it may be will cease altogether. Instinct is not Love, so the world will go on and there will be posterity which will throb to cold ambition. Come to the hearth, then, and let us rake the em bers, for this thought is chilling. Presently we will be warmed by another fire, out of the cycles where dead Romance wakens at our call as if we might control the clarion of Domesday itself! New Orleans children - rather let us be explicit, Creole children - have been told for just a shaving off two hundred years, the tale of the live-oak on Bayou St. John, that slumbrous estuary whose ancient source was the overflow of the Mississippi. It is in indign company, amid the refuse of timber-remnants which may not even be used for patching in a shabby little ship-yard where keels of small craft are scraped of barnacles and decks renewed. It isvibrated throughout the day by the tick-tack of hammers and at night when all is quiet, by the occasional appulse of a street-car as it attacks the Esplanade bridge.

Around the world Santa Claus has many names. But in a deep, swampy bayou of Louisiana, he's known as Papa Noël. In such a hot and humid place, there can be no sleds or reindeer, so Papa Noël rides the river in a boat that's pulled by eight alligators, with a snowy white one named Nicollette in the lead. On this particular Christmas Eve, it's so foggy on the river that even Nicollette's magical glowing-green eyes may not be enough to guide Papa Noël. The alligators are tired, grumpy and bruised from banging into cypress trees, and Papa is desperate to get all the gifts to the little children. Well, "quicker than a snake shimmies down the river," the clever Cajun people come up with a solution that saves the day. A colorfully inventive Christmas tale, Papa Noël is a lesson in fast thinking, as well as a witty introduction to a part of America that's rich in folklore and legend.

Archaeologists have been investigating the ruins of Poverty Point for decades, piecing together a fascinating picture of a 3,500-year-old hunter-gatherer way of life. But Poverty Point is more than an archaeological treasure-trove. It's also an eerie locus for southeastern native lore. Cold breezes on warm nights stir up spirit foxes and singing locusts. Otherworldly messages find their conduit in the drumming of trees and hooting of owls. Archaeologist and author Jon Gibson unearths the strange narratives that are as much a part of Poverty Point as the artifacts and earthworks themselves.
