The Squatters Story and a Tale of River Floods
A veteran recounts surviving a Red River flood in Louisiana aided by his horse. He details abandoning his shanty, crossing rising waters, clinging to his mare, finding an island with panther, deer, and other animals, and returning with help after rescue. The tale ends with a domestic vignette about Meritable Mort and Solomon Periwinkle.
