The Swamp Witch: A Louisiana Folk Tale
The works in this exhibit were inspired by the legend of the Swamp Witch of Maurepas, a story of loss and redemption. Kate Mulvaney’s life began in Dublin, where her father was a professor of Greek. They left Dublin when he was dismissed from the university for reasons Kate never knew. They migrated to New Orleans; Joe Mulvaney opened a bar. Kate’s life took a disastrous turn when she met Dan Weyman, a disbarred lawyer from Atlanta who still had a wife. Kate moved in with Dan; her father disowned her, and when Dan’s money ran out, Kate took on any work she could get to support them. Dan inherited a diamond mine from an Australian uncle, and left Kate to fend for herself. Small pox left physical scars that, added to the inner ones, made Kate a recluse who her neighbors began to call a witch. A voodoo witch sent her to live with a mulatto woman in Maurepas Swamp, giving Kate recipes for herbal medicines and teas, which Kate traded swamp dwellers for fish and small game. The peace and joy of the swamp increased when she found an albino fawn next to its dead mother. It had six tufts on its head that reminded Kate of wing buds. White Wings became her closest companion until a hunter shot him. Kate felt the shot, the sudden loss. Then White Wings appeared, blood on his chest. He had six white wings, and Kate knew he had come to take them to heaven. As they flew upwards, she thought of her sins, her suffering, and knew that she had been forgiven.

James Sinclair (Feb 6, 1914 – Oct 15,1994)
James Sinclair was a resident of Centerville, Louisiana. He was pioneer who dedicated his life to what in our time we call the causes of animal rights. His lifetime efforts were explained in a letter to the editor of the Franklin Banner in which he called upon the authorities of his parish to fulfill their responsibilities “to the people, the animals in your care, and, even to yourselves.” He himself fulfilled these moral imperatives all of his life, yet he dismissed them as too few as lifetime efforts, and deemed his life as a failure.
Those who deliberately abused animals, whether their own or others, he confronted, and often brought legal charges against them; perhaps one of his greatest accomplishments came when he exposed the animal pound of his town, which he described as a horror. He awakened the town to the cruelty of leaving cattle in the pastures during the cold of winter. He found sanctuary for stray or abandoned cats and dogs on the highways and streets about him. Often ridicule and flippant answers were heaped upon him, followed promises made to him but never kept. He was unvanquished in his ideals and his efforts.
Often, he wrote letters to Albert Schweitzer for counsel. All of Sinclair’s letters were answered by Schweitzer’s secretary except for one which caught Schweitzer’s eye, and Schweitzer sensing in it a wisp of downheartedness returned the letter to him with this moving note: “Mr. Sinclair, let us have courage.”
When, in 1980, Isaac Bashevis Singer came to Lafayette to deliver the first Flora Levy Lecture in the Humanities, I asked his secretary that Singer meet Sinclair and present to him a small gift for his lifelong dedication to animal rights. It was a passing thought, and outside of the reason for Singer’s coming. I made the request and then regretted that I made it and I hoped it would be ignored. Five days the telephone rang at my home, and when I answered it, I was startled by a voice, the voice of Singer, who said to me, “This is Isaac Singer. I will be glad to honor this kind man of whom you have spoken.” And hardly had I stumbled out words of thanks to Singer, he ended his call quite quickly with this short sentence, “Yes, the animals – they are our brothers, they are our sisters.” When Singer presented the gift to Sinclair on the occasion of the Levy Lecture, he said to him: “Your stewardship to the animals makes you a Father to our brothers and sisters in this kingdom of life.”
Today we dedicate this exhibition to James Sinclair that his work not only be remembered in the town that he loved so deeply, but that his acts and ideals be continued in the spirit of the great legend of holy sorceress of Lake Maurepas.
