Añadir al carritoHardbound. Condición: Very Good. Limited Edition. Description: Profusely illustrated with historic photographs. The map endpapers at front show Bayou Boeuf above and below Lecompte, Louisiana , showing early property lines, plantation names and owners. The first half of the book is a mix of text and photographs, the last half is… mainly photo illustrations with captions. This is a local history of the village of Lecompte, a small town with no more than 400 people in the early 1890s. In its infancy, it was totally dependent on farming and plantation operations for existence, and a few cotton gins represented the only manufacturing. Some sawmills appeared and almost as quickly disappeared. But Lecompte was a crossroads where people came for purchase goods not available at the multitude of country stores nestled in every bend of the bayou . As a result, it was an interesting place.'' The copyright page declares ''Limited Edition'', but with no further explanation. BINDNG/CONDITION: brown binding with gilt text; a Very Good book, with a Very Good dust jacket. Map endpapers at front, facimile illustrations at rear. about 11.25 inches tall by 8.75 inches wide. 156 pages.
