Description
When Stephen Fox arrived in New Orleans in 1825 on a pig boat, with a
ten-dollar gold piece, a pearl stick pin, he pitted himself against the
indolent, slave-ridden, caste bound planters, with the skill and daring of the
card-sharp he was. He gambled, won and built "Harrow", the greatest mansion
house and plantation in Louisiana. He took the love of three women: Odalie
Orceneaux, his wife; her sister, Aurore; and Desiree, his Black mistress. Fox
had a child by each of them. This story is charged with blood and passion and
strife between the races.
