Seller's Description:
Carolyn Morrow Long. Very good in Very good jacket. xii, 258, [2] pages. Includes Full Page Map of Downtown New Orleans, Photographs, Sketches, Preface, Definition of Terms, Introduction, Conclusion, Epilogue, Acknowledgments, Notes, Bibliography, and Index. Signed by the author on the title page. Signed by author sticker on front of DJ. Carolyn Morrow Long began visiting New Orleans in 1978, and became fascinated by the it's history and culture. She is the author of Spiritual Merchants: Religion, Magic, and Commerce, A New Orleans Voudou Priestess: The Legend and Reality of Marie Laveau, Madame Lalaurie, Mistress of the Haunted House, and Famille Vve Paris née Laveau: The Tomb of Marie Laveau in St. Louis Cemetery No. 1. Retired from the Smithsonian Institution, she writes articles and gives presentations about New Orleans Afro-Catholic spiritual practices and Creole families. Long drew the cover illustrations for the Laveau and Lalaurie books. Using carefully documented eyewitness testimony, archival documents, and family letters, the author recounts the life of Madame Laurie from legal troubles before fire broke out in the kitchen and slave quarters of her home in 1834. Delphine Laurie was forced to flee the city, and her guilt went unquestioned during her lifetime. Stories of perverted tortures, of burying slaves alive, of cutting off their limbs, have continued to plague her legacy. Using carefully documented eyewitness testimony, archival documents, and family letters, Long recounts Lalaurie life from legal troubles before the fire, through the scandal of her exile to France to her death in Paris in 1849. "Madame Lalaurie is scrupulously researched. It is difficult to envision anyone producing a more thorough account of Delphine Lalaurie, her family, and the home in which she lived. The story of the woman and her misdeeds is a captivating one, and the horror of her crimes is shocking even today. This is Long's best book."-Jeffrey E. Anderson.
