Alison H. (USA: WA) (2018/12/19):
FROM BACK COVER: In 1996, Laura Locoul Gore compiled an account of nearly 100 years of life on the Louisiana sugar plantation named after her: "Laura Plantation." Her manuscript, recently found, details the daily life and major events of the inhabitants, both free and slave, of her plantation. Laura's writings offer an insider's perspective into a Creole household, spanning four generations of love and greed, pride and betrayal, heroism and pettiness, violence and excess. And, her words are also an explanation as to why she rejected the traditional confines of the Creole world to become a modern American of the 20th century.
