Thanks for this notice. A well-written book about Earl Long is of great
interest to me, and especially to my wife also (a rare convergence). My
wife (who grew up in Monroe, LA) is forever telling folks the true story of
her sitting on "Uncle Earl's" lap at the age of five in her grandparents
home, telling him how she wanted a horse, but not getting anywhere with this
request from her parent/grandparents. When Uncle Earl died a few years
later he left his "pea-patch horse" to her in his will.
I think I'll be getting this book for her right away.
