can you post the list that you wrote down from the bus driver?

THANKS!!!!!!

okay - gotta find it!

Here's the book list that I got from the tour guide for the Oak Alley Plantation tour.

"Forgotten People of Cane River"**Sylva, the tour guide, said that this book is better to read over the other book titled "Cane River"

"Prince Among Slaves" or "Price Among Slaves"
*handwriting...hard to discern whether its Prince or Price

"Our People, Our Culture"

"Free People of Color"

She also gave me an article dated April 21-27 2008 from the Louisiana Weekly about a woman (nun) named Mother Henriette DeLille (1812-1862) Delille was a Creole woman who served slaves. She baptized them and did her best to take care of their over-all well being with the little inheritance she had. They are in the process of canonization and beautification for DeLille, and there is some protest because she owned one slave. They say she never benefitted from owning a slave...and there's a quote that said "Free people of color who owned slaves would not free them becasue a laot of them were their relatives and would be sent away" ***there was a law that once a slave was freed, that person had to leave the state.

Her ministry continues now in Africa. She was born in New Orleans. Great granddaughter of a West African slave and was a free person of color.

The tour guide also gave me another article from Louisiana Ancestors about a book called "Free African-Americans of North Carolina, Virginia, and South Carolina" by Heinegg $78. Another book titled "Free African Americans of Maryland and Delaware" $48. These are both books that are like goldmines to historians.

Thanks Alyson for reminding that I had this....It was still in my laptop bag next to the Kanye west tickets

the camden county library system sucks...

Call Robin's Bookstore in Philadelphia. They are a goldmine for rare books. There are 2 locations. Try the 12th St (or 13th?) one.

12th.

They have another location?
