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 that
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.
