Fascinating scenes unfolded in the mind of Duncan Fitch, reporter for a Boston newspaper, about people who possess a quiet rage, a strong spirit and a good will that could be likened to none; people who bear grief and trust reason. There seems to be good and evil, new and old, truth and lies all calling out to a wise man of vision to meet his maker or his taker in the heartland. Come and see us as we are. Tell our stories from your heart. He became convinced that the Cajun yell ringing in his ears wasn't just noise. Mr. Duncan began to wonder, why shouldn't his dream of being his own boss come true in the south? With a spark of courage, a little fear and great determination he outlined his plan to cut bark on his own and became the proud editor of Erath's first newspaper, The TIGER LAGOON NEWS. The Cajuns from the bayous, swamps and marshlands were warm and friendly towards the man of new waters. These defenders of freedom believe that the rich and the good share the same fate as the poor and the bad. They strive to become better social creatures but are no cowards. It is said that visible anger rises in the muscular body of the Cajun man when his mind fills with determination to solve his own problems. Mr. Duncan soon realizes that many of the stories he hears may not be newsworthy but must be told. After all, it is not madness to want to make old ghost brand new and new ones old. He keeps a journal as he searches for answers to the bloodline of one living legend, fascinator Cajun Al. Come! Open the backdoor, sit on the porch, slow down, take it easy and listen as you find out about the best gift a man can give himself.
