It's early morning in 1928, Huey Long
joins his motorcade of highway policeman at a Texaco Station
that was once at four corners on the Old Spanish Trail in Lafayette,
Louisiana. They hit the campaign trail, riding from town to town,
rallying for his election for Governor and creating excitement
in every rural community they go through. "Huey Long is
in town!", the people shout as the the Harley Davidson motorcycles
purr down the streets.
It was quite an event when the Kingfish came
to Town!
Stacy LaFleur, a young artist from Louisiana,
has beautifully captured the spirit and the intricate detail
of this historic event. The nostalgia of a time long ago is forever
preserved in this astounding depiction of a moment in Louisiana's
colorful history.
