The Cry of the Bittern on Yazoo Swamp
A narrator recalls being lost near Lake George in Yazoo County Mississippi and meeting a solitary old hunter in a wolf skin cap. The man, Jean Girard, recounts a tragic tale of abandoning his daughter Annie after her mother left, and the guilt of killing his daughter when she returned. The story ends with the old man leaving the cabin to flee the accursed swamp as the narrator escapes by boat.
