Mamoo:	We are the two granddaughters of Albert Baldwin, Sr. , the
one who came down here and married the Creole belle Arthemise Bouligny Baldwin.
Alice: Arthemise BOULIGNY. She wasn't a Baldwin yet.
Mamoo:	Arthemise Bouligny, yes. Arthemise Bouligny became Mrs.
Baldwin. And -
Alice:	Anyhow, it was amazing that he came down at that time. He
did not fight on this side of either war. Yet there is no other comparison. He was a businessman. He came down here for business purposes.
Mamoo: He came down here to make money.
Alice: Hunh?
Mamoo:	He came down here really to make money.
Alice:	Well first of all he married into aristocracy. What would
you say? A very prominent family. The Bouligny family which is now being considered one of THE families in the early beginnings of the city of New Orleans.
Mamoo: Yah, right.
Alice; And I don't know what he did all during the war.
Mamoo:	Well, I think that he came down with I understand
medicines and things like that that were so hard to get and to give to anybody, no matter whether they were yankees or southerners.
Alice: You want me to tell you what I think I know?
Mamoo:	Yes.
Alice:	I don't like to repeat it. But I think that he ran	the
blockade with	his	own ships, swift ships, to get quinine for	the
southern soldiers. Now, believe it or not, I don't know...
Mamoo:	Well,	he	probably did, that sounds very reasonable,	very
reasonable.
Alice: And I' in sure he made a lot of money on it.
Mamoo:	Yah,	and	then he opened a hardware store because he	saw
that there were a Jtaibb of tools and implements for farming.
