MAURICE THOMPSON
American lawyer, poet and author (1844 - 1901)
|
Up to the days of Indiana's early statehood, probably as late as
1825, there stood, in what is now the beautiful little city of
Vincennes on the Wabash, the decaying remnant of an old and
curiously gnarled cherry tree, known as the Roussillion tree,
le cerisier de Monsieur Roussillion, as the French
inhabitants called it, which as long as it lived bore fruit
remarkable for richness of flavor and peculiar dark ruby depth of
color.
