Lost Manuscript Found - Life Among the AnteBellum Creole Elite
I bought Memories of the Old Plantation because I love New Orleans and its history. Once I starting reading,I was up all night. I could not put it down. This is a portrait, albeit a rosey one, of a grand house and the french creole family who lived within it for generations. Written by one of its own daughters, Laura Locoul Gore, it is a memoir of genealogy and family lore recollected as an old woman for her children and descendants. Which is to say if you are looking for real decriptions of ancestral brutality or social inequality, you won't find it here. But the author is a lively & locquacious raconteur, so it reads more like a novel than a dry historical manuscript. Lavish with old photos, this book is a primary source, an insider's view of the notoriously clannish creole lifestyle enjoyed by the wealthy few before and after the Civil War. Ironically it was sold out of the family by the very person who wrote these chronicles.Read full review

Laura Plantation: a memoir of Creole plantation life.
It is a personal memoir of a girl growing up on an antebellum Creole plantation and in New Orleans. She provides us with a brief history of the four generations that proceeded her from family oral history. She provides an insight into Creole family culture which is very different from other southern plantations. This is no "Gone with the Wind,or Jezebel" folks. The current owners of the Laura Plantation have taken Mrs. Locoul Gore's memories and augments them with family photos, art from the Louisiana state historical society, many of which can be found hanging in the Cabildo in New Orleans. I loved it, It was entertaining, personal, and a great insight into Creole family, and plantation life.

Memories of the old plantation home
After having visited the plantation this past summer I was compelled to read the more in depth history behind the times of plantation living. This book is a compilation of memories written down in a journal and handed down through the family. recommended reading for those interested in the old south.
