ELIZA ANNE MARCH ROBERTSON PAPERS, #1181, 1843-1872

Scrapbook of Robertson, apparently written from New Iberia, Iberia Parish, Louisiana, which records the daily life of a Louisiana gentlewoman. Daily entries document household tasks and often note which chores were assigned to slaves (1849-1856). The book also includes a description of an Easter celebration among slaves. Microfilm available.
