Produktinformationen zu „A Louisiana Purchase (ePub)“
There was a 'Louisiana Territory' before there was a United States of America it had existed alongside the 'colonies' as a foreign land, and its major city, New Orleans, had reigned as a 'Xanadu on the Mississippi' for over 100 years before the Territory and its crown jewel were purchased from France...
With the Louisiana Purchase, New Orleans arrived into the United States as a glistening, flamboyant, fully-grown enigma of imperialism, with Catholicism an imposed state religion, and newly classified as a slave-statethe populace had been betrayed again. The French citizenry wanted no part of this upstart nation, but were now invaded by opportunists and adventurers from an antiroyalist, Anglo-Saxon-Protestant nationits wealth, customs, religion and language totally setting it apart from the rest of the country. The city of New Orleans, more than any other portion of the Louisiana Territory, became a 'foreign' outpost on 'American' soil and a target for every exploiter of humanity from the infant union.

Autoren-Porträt von C.V. Warmouth
The author began his first novel after retiring from various fields of endeavor that included merchant seaman during WWII, direct mail advertising in the '50s, a mural artist and international interior designer, having worked in London, Canada, Peru and the Grenadines, as well as important projects in the U.S.A. until his retirement in 1997 at the age of 75. He then began writing this book which was intended to be a trilogy that went from 1839 in New Orleans to 1888 in Brazil where there still exists a southern confederate colony called Americana. Since most of those confederates were non-Catholic, they had to be buried in their own cemetery and to this day there are antebellum ceremonies conducted by their descendents.
Unfortunately books 2 and 3 are still in outline form because it took the author 14 years to finish the first book.
