Louisa Picquet, the Octoroon: : A Tale of Southern Slave Life - Paperback

by Joe Mitchell (Illustrator), H. Mattison a. M. (Author)

LOUISA PICQUET, the subject of the following narrative, was born in Columbia, South Carolina, and is apparently about thirty-three years of age. She is a little above the medium height, easy and graceful in her manners, of fair complexion and rosy cheeks, with dark eyes, a flowing head of hair with no perceptible inclination to curl, and every appearance, at first view, of an accomplished white lady.
