Book Synopsis Orchid of the Bayou by : Cathryn Carroll
Download or read book Orchid of the Bayou written by Cathryn Carroll and published by Gallaudet University Press. This book was released on 2001 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In graduating from Gallaudet University, finding a job in Washington, D.C., and starting a family with her college sweetheart, Kitty Fischer tacitly abandoned the Louisiana Cajun culture that had exposed her to little more than prejudice and misery as a child. Upon discovering that she suffered from Usher syndrome (a genetic condition that causes both deafness and blindness), however, Fischer began an unlikely journey toward reclaiming her heritage. She and Cathryn Carroll tell the story of her heroic struggle and cultural odyssey in Orchid of the Bayou: A Deaf Woman Faces Blindness. "By this time Mama knew I was 'not right, '" Fischer says of her early childhood. "She knew the real words for 'not right, ' too, though she never said those words. I was deaf and dumb." Initially Fischer's parents turned to folk healers to try and "cure" their daughter's deafness, but an aunt's fortunate discovery of the Louisiana School for the Deaf would rescue Fischer from misunderstanding and introduce her to sign language and Deaf culture. She weathered the school''s experiments with oralism and soon rose to the top of her class, ultimately leaving Louisiana for the academic promise of Gallaudet. While in college, Fischer met and married her future husband, Lance, a Jewish Deaf man from Brooklyn, New York, and each landed jobs close to their alma mater. After the birth of their first child, however, Fischer could no longer ignore her increasing tunnel vision. Doctors quickly confirmed that Fischer had Usher syndrome. While Fischer struggled to come to terms with her condition, the high incidence of Usher syndrome among Cajun people led her to re-examine her cultural roots. "Could I still be me, Catherine Hoffpauir Fischer, had I not been born of a mix that codes for Usher syndrome?" she asks. "To some extent, the history of my people explains the constitution of my genes and the way my life has unfolded." Today Fischer prospers, enjoying her time with family and friends and celebrating the Deaf, Cajun, Blind, and Jewish cultures that populate her life. Her lively story will resonate with anyone who recognizes the arduous journey toward claiming an identity.
Book Synopsis The ROSE of Brays Bayou by : Sidney St. James
Download or read book The ROSE of Brays Bayou written by Sidney St. James and published by BeeBop Publishing Group. This book was released on 2020-04-21 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This novel, written in the Creative Nonfiction genre, is factually accurate. As the author, my primary goal in writing in this style is to communicate the truthful information, just like a seasoned journalist, but to shape it in such a way that it reads like fiction. The rush to the Louisiana border was known to the Texans as the Runaway Scrape, the Great Runaway or the Sabine Shoot. Whatever one calls it, the wild exodus was a nightmare of terror and suffering for women and children across the Lone Star State. It was only their burning desire for retribution, which made it possible for them to keep going. REMEMBER THE ALAMO! REMEMBER GOLIAD! COME AND TAKE IT! Dilue Rose Harris told her story for the Eagle Lake Headlight in 1900. William Kell gave a copy of the manuscript to Sidney St. James in an edited form. Her story now comes forth and told through the perspective of a creative nonfiction genre. Delicate women trudged from day to day until their shoes wore completely out and continued their journey to the east with bare feet, lacerated, and bleeding at almost every step. Their clothes were scant and provided no means of shelter from frequent drenching downpours and bitterly cold winds.--- Soldier from the Battle of San Jacinto Constant exposure to the elements caused measles, whooping cough, and other unknown diseases. Many died from along the Sabine Shoot! One woman and her two children rode a horse that bolted into a swollen bayou and plummeted into the torrent. Horrified refugees on the other bank could only watch as a horse, mother and children swept under, never to be seen again, by the swift current. The cries of the women were distressing. They raised their hands to Heaven and declared they lost their all. They knew not where to go. Many said they preferred to die on the road rather than die at the hand of the Mexicans or Indians. --- Dilue Rose Harris "I would like to make a very special toast for our Second Anniversary ball. The men of Texas deserved much of the credit, but more was due to the many women across Texas. Armed men facing a foe couldn't but be brave. But, my friends, the women, with their little children around them, without means of defense or power to resist, faced danger and death with unflinching courage. God bless the women of Texas!"--- General Thomas Jefferson Rusk Not wishing the women and children to see their homes put to the torch in Gonzales, Texas, Sam Houston led the civilians out of the small community. Then he ordered every roof large enough to shelter a Mexican's head burned to the ground. Captain John Sharpe and his torch crew stayed behind and burned every building in site to the ground. Houston's efforts to spare their feelings were in vain. That night, however, they turned and saw the orange glow on the horizon as Gonzales burned to the ground. Everything! Finally, the women of the Runaway Scrape justifiably regarded themselves as Veterans of the Texas Revolution. They endured dangers and hardships as harsh as those faced by their soldier-husbands. Not as commonly lauded over the last almost two hundred years, their efforts were just as important. Santa Anna had no secret of his objective. He wanted to drink a cup of coffee from the waters of the Sabine River and on the way, rid Texas of all disloyal foreigners. His campaign ended on April 21, 1836.

Download or read book Bayou Farewell written by Mike Tidwell and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2007-12-18 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Cajun coast of Louisiana is home to a way of life as unique, complex, and beautiful as the terrain itself. As award-winning travel writer Mike Tidwell journeys through the bayou, he introduces us to the food and the language, the shrimp fisherman, the Houma Indians, and the rich cultural history that makes it unlike any other place in the world. But seeing the skeletons of oak trees killed by the salinity of the groundwater, and whole cemeteries sinking into swampland and out of sight, Tidwell also explains why each introduction may be a farewell—as the storied Louisiana coast steadily erodes into the Gulf of Mexico. Part travelogue, part environmental exposé, Bayou Farewell is the richly evocative chronicle of the author's travels through a world that is vanishing before our eyes.
