Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Full Report of the Great Gaines Case, 1850: In the Suit of Myra Gaines Vs, Chew, Relf Others, for the Recovery of the Property of the Late Daniel Clark Tub roinark thai truth is straiii?ei timn Action, was nevur more forcibly illtislratud, than by itvc liistory of the suit brought by Mrs. Myrn Gaines, to recover the property which belonsjtxl to Mr. Daniel yVs, Clark, who she alleges was her father. The wildest rom: inco ever written, couUl not contain ngreater variety of strange incidents, more affecting details, more strongly marked characters, a more constant succcession of stirring events, and stronger exhibitions of folly, intrig e, deception and crime. Thee details, too, combine the qualities of the most thrilling romance, with the rairn substantial foritui-es of history, not only in its graver national and political aspect, but also in the more humble, but not less useful sphere of embodying the manners and habitus and social ideas and customs of the times. Heroin will be found a large fund of information, relative to the acquisition of Louisiana by Mr. Jefferson, in 1803, in tiic inception and accomplishment of i? which Dmiel Clark played a conspicuou.? part. In Clarks letters, and those addressed to him, are 1 developed many little under currents aud subordinate events, relating to the cession of Louisiana which have never appeare lbefore. P.iS3iug from political to commercial affairs, the history of th most ambitious and enterprising merchants on this continent, such as Coxe and Clark wore in their ilay, will be found full of valuable information to those who are curious in that department of knowledge. Not loss interesting, and even more valuable, is the light which this record sheds upon the progress and changes in jurisprudence, through which this State has passed, since the events occurred, which have produced this litigation. The history of these parties, includes the most interesting epochs in the history of Louisiaua. It commences with the old Spanish Government, when this colony was governed by that venerable compound of old Roman and Monastic, or Ecclesiwtical law, from which the most enlightened features in the jurisprudence of all the present cirilizotl nations of the world is derived. The marriage of Zulime Carriere to Jerome( DoGrange occurred under that law, so did the alleged marriage of Clark and Zulime, and their effects must, therefore, in a great measure, be controlled by the principles of the old Spanish law. The next era occurs after the cession in 1803, and includes the period of the Territorial Government of this colony, down to 1803, when the old code went into operation. That cotle was 4 very materially changetl by two uvonts Qrst, the lulmission of Louisiana into tin. Union in Itfli, and Vsk the consequent inlroduciion of the chancery system of practice; aud secondly, by the adoption of Othe codo of13-25. To cjmprehcud fuUy, therefore, the bearings of this case, it is necessary constantly to refer to these various systems of jurisprudence. This case, therefore, possesses deep j, interest in its jurisprudenti.il iwpccts, and will be fomid to contain a great fund of valuable inS Vj formation, illustrative of the features of the different codes, which have controlled the rigbtn Ss sad regulated the duties of ibe citizens of Louisiana, since i Ufirst settlement.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The legal crusade of Myra Clark Gaines (1804?--1885) has all the trappings of classic melodrama -- a lost heir, a missing will, an illicit relationship, a questionable marriage, a bigamous husband, and a murder. For a half century the daughter of New Orleans millionaire Daniel Clark struggled to justify her claim to his enormous fortune in a case that captivated the nineteenth-century public. Elizabeth Urban Alexander taps voluminous court records and letters to unravel the twists and turns of Gaines's litigation and reveal the truth behind the mysterious saga of this notorious woman. Myra, the daughter of real estate heir Clark and Zulime Carrière, a beautiful young Frenchwoman, was raised by friends of Clark and kept ignorant of her real parentage until 1832, when she discovered her true lineage in letters among her foster father's papers. She thereupon returned to Louisiana with tales of a lost will and a secret marriage between Clark and Carrière and claimed to be Clark's missing heir. Was Myra the legitimate daughter of the prominent merchant or the "fruit of an adulterous union?" The courts would decide. The Great Gaines Case wound its tortuous path through the United States legal system from 1834 until 1891. It was considered by the U.S. Supreme Court seventeen times and pursued even after Gaines's death by lawyers trying to recoup fees. By courageously bringing her case to the courtroom and doggedly keeping it there, Alexander asserts, Gaines helped instigate a new type of family law that provided special protection of women, children, and marriages. Though Gaines never recovered more than a tiny fraction of the rumored millions, this riveting chronicle of her struggle for legitimacy and legacy as told by Elizabeth Urban Alexander is a gold mine for anyone interested in legal history, women's studies, or a good yarn superbly spun.
