| Publisher Description: 1905. Being a plain account of sundry adventures befalling Chevalier Raoul de Coubert, one time Captain in the Hussars of Languedoc, during the year 1763. The book begins: It was a queer old town, that Kaskaskia, even then seventy years established, a typical French village of the far frontier. However, I was destined to gain merely a glimpse of it before the sun sank, for the message that had brought me thither was most urgent, nor was I in any spirit to waste time with idle sight-seeing. There are few things that quicken action like an empty purse. See other titles by this author available from Kessinger Publishing. |
