ISBN:  0871139219 Description:  xiii, 268 p. ; 24 cm. Edition:  1st American ed. Requests:  0 Summary:  Louisiana, 1843: a German immigrant thinks she recognizes a young slave girl as the long-lost daughter of her German friend, but the girl has no memory of such a past, and her owner refuses to free her. In novelistic detail, historian John Bailey reconstructs the exotic sights, sounds, and smells of mid-nineteenth-century New Orleans, an "infernal motley crew" of cotton kings, decadent river workers, immigrants, and slaves. The dramatic trial offers an eye into the fascinating laws and customs surrounding slavery, immigration, and racial mixing, pitting a humble community of German immigrants against a hardened capitalist, as respected for his wealth and power as he is feared and distrusted, and his attorney, one of the brashest and most flamboyant lawyers of his time.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status Due Date   Hawaii State Library Social Science & Philosophy 306.362 Müller Ba Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Biography B Müller Ba Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kailua Public Library Adult Biography B Müller Ba Checked out 04/24/2024 Add Copy to MyList Laupahoehoe P/S Library Adult Biography B Müller Ba Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Lihue Public Library Adult Nonfiction 306.362 Müller Ba Checked In   Add Copy to MyList
