Much of Louisiana, including New Orleans and Baton Rouge, is occupied. The Confederate army is retreating toward Texas, and being replaced by Red Legs, irregulars commanded by a maniacal figure, and enslaved men and women are beginning to glimpse freedom. When Hannah Laveau, an enslaved woman working on the Lufkin plantation, is accused of murder, she goes on the run with Florence Milton, an abolitionist schoolteacher, dodging the local constable and the slavecatchers that prowl the bayous. Wade Lufkin, haunted by what he observedâand didâas a surgeon on the battlefield, has returned to his uncleâs plantation to convalesce, where he becomes enraptured by Hannah. Flags on the Bayou is an engaging, action-packed narrative that includes a duel that ends in disaster, a brutal encounter with the local Union commander, repeated skirmishes with Confederate irregulars led by a diseased and probably deranged colonel, and a powerful story of love blossoming between an unlikely pair. As the story unfolds, it illuminates a past that reflects our present in sharp relief. 541 $d 20230707. 650 $a Civil war $z United States $v Fiction. 650 $a Slaves $z United States $v Fiction. 650 $a Man-woman relationships $v Fiction. 651 $a Southern States $x History $y 1775-1865 $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Historical fiction. 941 $a 17 945 $a cda 952 $l CXPC586 $d 20240423010309.0 952 $l NYPE343 $d 20240416010427.0 952 $l SPPE104 $d 20240214010516.0 952 $l XAPE737 $d 20240127013522.0 952 $l LAPH975 $d 20240127011848.0 952 $l UGPF911 $d 20231207021929.0 952 $l YCPD572 $d 20231206014706.0 952 $l ZBPE245 $d 20231201012221.0 952 $l YLPC314 $d 20231117035846.0 952 $l UJPE911 $d 20231114011229.0 952 $l CHPB482 $d 20231018010551.0 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20230902014531.0 952 $l YTPG232 $d 20230902011700.0 952 $l XXPH787 $d 20230808011315.0 952 $l S1PD771 $d 20230802013226.0 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20230802010723.0 952 $l BVPE851 $d 20230718012926.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=04AED090253111EE91433F782CECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
