Story Archives: Honeycutt's book a must read


Honeycutt's book a must read
by Sam Hanna, Jr. - posted E-mail Story E-mail Story | Print Story Print Story 
(Editor's Note: This column was first published the week of Dec. 14, 2009. It was slightly edited. The column is timely in light of Gov. Edwin Edwards' scheduled release from federal prison next week.)

The much-anticipated book on the most colorful governor in the history of Louisiana has finally arrived.

Edwin Edwards: Governor of Louisiana went on sale at bookstores and the like throughout the state earlier this week. Written by veteran newsman Leo Honeycutt, the authorized biography of Louisiana's only four-term governor is available for purchase at http://www.edwinedwards.net. I bought a few copies from the Web site over the weekend.

In reading Honeycutt's book, I quickly discovered he did an excellent job in vividly describing Edwards' humble upbringing in a segregated Avoyelles Parish and how those early years in Avoyelles inspired the future governor to obtain a formal education as a means to live a better life some day.
