Book info: The lost German slave girl (Hardcover, 535 pages – Thorndike Press, 2005) – Thorndike Press, 2005. Language: Eng.
On an 1843 spring morning in New Orleans' Spanish Quarter, a woman recognizes a German girl who disappeared twenty-five years earlier. She is now a slave, with no memory of her family's perilous journey from their German village. This tour de force of investigative history is a fascinating exploration of slavery and its laws, a reconstruction of mid-19th-century New Orleans, and a riveting courtroom drama.
