Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Priest of Auvrigny, or How a Christian Avenges Himself, And, the King of the Bean: Translated From the French On the western side of the Vosges, all that portion of country bordering on Lorraine and Champagne was covered, at the period our story commences, with vast forests, which have been, with the progress of time and the increase of population, of course considerably diminished in extent. At that period, which was toward the beginning of the year 1788, the canton to which we refer, although designated by a variety of names, such as the Bois-des-Dames, the Bois-Touffu, the Forest of Mirecourt, the Valley of Berceville, the Oak Grove of Auvrigny, etc., formed but one vast range of forest country, twelve or fifteen square leagues in extent, interspersed with hills and dales, and watered by numerous small streams, which, uniting in the principal valley, called the Valley of Auvrigny, formed a small river known as the Argentine. This region was called the "Auvrigny Country." It was inhabited by a somewhat numerous population, occupying several villages and hamlets, the principal of which were Maulincourt, Berceville, Mirecourt, and the small village of Auvrigny-le-Chatcau, or simply Auvrigny.
