Rise of the Planters: A New Orleans Tale

By Richard Dosher

Rise of the Planters, A New Orleans Tale is a historical fiction about the rise of the plantation culture in the southern United States. The planters were plantation owners who controlled the cotton and sugar trade by owning hundreds of slaves to plant and harvest their crops. This book follows a group of immigrants and how their lives led to one of the largest planter dynasties in the south in the early to mid-1800s... the "golden era" of New Orleans.

The story highlights their origins, economic achievements, obstacles and conflicts, revenge-inspired murders, complex sexual situations, marital challenges, racial issues and slavery viewpoints, religious beliefs, and overwhelming prosperity. All intertwined with a backdrop of the historical issues and events from the 1790s until the Civil War when it all comes to an abrupt end.
