Jan Scarborough presents today's Natchez History Minute about Consuelo Yznaga, the Duchess of Manchester, who was born on Ravenswood Plantation in Concordia Parish, Louisiana. Consuelo became one of the first American heiresses to marry into the British aristocracy, providing much needed Yankee funds for cash strapped titled Englishmen. Her son, the 9th Duke of Manchester and his wife visited Natchez in 1901 and gave one of the last parties at Concord.
