Huey Long: His Life in Photos, Drawings, and Cartoons
Known for his flamboyance, Huey Pierce Long grew from a seventeen-year-old traveling salesman to become a United States senator who finished law school in only two years. Images of Long most often show him smiling and orating in his trademark white linen suit and straw boater, but there are dozens of other images: of Long as a young man, with his family, and on the campaign trail. Also included are dozens of still-amusing editorial cartoons both lionizing and criticizing the man who would be Kingfish.  Praise for Huey Long Invades New Orleans,  also by Garry Boulard: "There has never been anyone more compelling, more downright entertaining and frightening than the Kingfish, and what Garry Boulard does in his book . . . is to . . . let us look into the personality as he invades the soul of a state and especially a city." --Rick Bragg, Southern correspondent, New York Times, and author of Ava's Man "A brilliant history written with the verve and style most authors can only envy, Huey Long Invades New Orleans is a treat." --Dr. Michael Thomason, managing editor, Gulf Coast Historical Review
