"Following the lives of Michael Krafft, and his family, Cowbellion tells the story of how Mardi Gras was born in antebellum Mobile, New Orleans and the ports of the northeast. Masked balls, slaves, Creoles, and Yellow Fever were all new to the Krafft family and thousands of others who came to Deep South in the 1820's and 1830's, to be at the center of the booming international cotton trade. Out of their experiences, a new tradition of festivity was born."--Publisher's description.
