Description
Summary:	Depicted as a graphic history and informed by newly discovered primary sources and years of archival research, Monumental resurrects, in vivid detail, Louisiana and New Orleans after the Civil War, and an iconic American life that never should have been forgotten. The graphic history is supplemented with personal and historiographical essays as well as a map, timeline and endnotes that explore the riveting scenes in even greater depth. Monumental is a story of determination, scandal, betrayal and how one man's principled fight for equality and justice may have cost him everything.
