Gauthreaux chronicles 12 homicide cases from late 1800s and early 1900s Louisiana--where unwritten law justified jilted women who killed their paramours, and police took measures to protect defendants from lynch mobs. Stories include the 1907 kidnapping of seven-year-old Walter Lamana by the New Orleans Black Hand, the 1912 acquittal of Zea McRee (a woman of good reputation) in Opelousas, and the 1934 trial and execution of Shreveport's infamous Butterfly Man.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"I applaude Alan Gauthreaux for his attention to detail and facts. A writer should drag the reader back in time so they can be a witness, albeit, years later. If that is accomplished, the writer has done his job. In <i>Bloodstained Louisiana</i>, the writer has done his job impeccably. I am familiar with some of the cases discussed, but after reading those cases, I learned things I haven't known until now. Great job! Thank you."--Sal Perricone, former FBI agent, retired federal prosecutor, writer.<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Alan G. Gauthreaux</b> is an adjunct instructor of history at Nunez Community College in Chalmette, Louisiana. He has written numerous historical articles in the true crime and military history fields. He lives in Kenner, Louisiana.
