Set in the Cajun country of Louisiana's Vermilion Parish during the
1850s, this historical novel, based on the 1986 motion picture,
recounts the exploits of Belizaire Breaux, a Cajun herbalist and
traiteur (faith healer). Finding himself at the center of an
explosive chain of events, Belizaire defies a group of cattle
barons who terrorize the region. He fails to save his cousin from
their vengeance, but eventually triumphs over the group and wins
the love of a vigilante's widow in the process. This novel contains
black-and-white photographs depicting the unique Cajun culture,
including landmarks such as Pine and Oak Alley plantations, Lake
Martin Swamp, and Bayou Teche.
