The Lost German Slave Girl by John Bailey is subtitled The Extraordinary True Story of Sally Miller and Her Fight for Freedom in Old New Orleans. In 1843 New Orleans, in the Spanish Quarter full of gambling dens and unsavory houses, Madame Rouff recognizes a face in the crowd - a face from her past. It is the face of her best friends daughter who disappeared 25 years ago. But the young woman's name is Mary Miller who "belongs" to a Frenchman operating a nearby cabaret. But her telltale birthmarks and striking resemblance to her mother is the giveaway. The author, renowned historian, reconstructs mid-century New Orleans and the motley crew of cotton kings, river workers and more to tell the story of Miller's trial, laws surrounding immigration and race. The author follows the case all the way to the Supreme Court and a shocking conclusion.
