Additional Details

Stanford E. Chaille (1830-1911) dean of medicine at Tulane, was also a Board of Health statistician. In the present pamphlet, he attempts to show by the number of colored Republicans killed in the violent elections following the end of the war and Reconstruction, that the number of votes cast by colored voters in the 1876 election was inflated. Chaille had written a similar pamphlet in 1875 titled "The Living, Dying, Registering Voting Population of Louisiana, 1868-1874."
