Publisher's Synopsis
"In 1804, James Workman published Liberty in Louisiana, a play celebrating the Louisiana Purchase and the benefits of joining the burgeoning United States of America for the people of Louisiana. In 2020, editors Bruce Magee and Stephen Payne rediscovered the play, which has been out of print since its first publication and believe it to be the oldest extant play in English involving Louisiana. Magee and Payne have written a new introduction and preface to accompany the play's reprinting"--.
