It Happens in Louisiana
It Happens in Louisiana: Peculiar Tales, Traditions & Recipes from the Bayou | Sam Irwin
7 posts | 1 to read
Only in the Bayou State do Louisianans travel door to door on horseback collecting gumbo ingredients for Mardi Gras gatherings. Residents compete in egg pquer contests to see who can crack their opponents Easter egg first. Louisiana is a place where frequent collisions with natural disasters can inspire a drink like Pat OBriens famous hurricane. And the states history is filled with colorful figures like Governor Earl K. Long, whose wife committed him to a mental institutiononly for him to use his political pull to inspire his own release. Elsewhere these accounts may seem odd or farfetched, but it all happens in Louisiana. Join author Sam Irwin as he details these intriguing Pelican State stories with pithy observations, humorous asides and droll determinations.

I am starting the book pictured. It is not in the Litsy database. It is by a Louisiana author about a Louisiana plantation and mystery. Got is signed by the author, too!
