Description: An Island Unto Itself - The Story of Little Pecan by Sam Venable. Printed by Taylor Publishing Company. Published in 1981 by Little Pecan Properties, LTD.Hardcover with leather. No ISBN. Illustrated. Appears to be First Edition. "This book is dedicated to the people who love the marsh...who have toiled to keep it productive...who seek to deliver it to the next generation intact, alive, and abundant." From the Introduction: "...Little Pecan Wildlife Management Area, located near Grand Chenier, La., is everything but a 'duck club.' In fact, waterfowl hunting is only one part of the entire operation. Here on 11,000 acres of march, a team of highly skilled wetlands biologists is developing a multi-faceted management program...fish, furbearers, alligators, timber, as well as ducks....This is an area so wild and seemingly unfit for human habitation, it was not titled to its first owner until well after the Civil War..." The price has been adjusted to allow for this defect in the cover. Although it is a rare and hard-to-find book, I have already lowered the price considerably. A great book for anyone who is interested in preserving the history of this unique part of Louisiana and the Gulf Coast.
