In 1928, Huey P. Long became the youngest Governor in Louisiana’s
history. He bragged that he bought lawmakers like “sacks of
potatoes, shuffled ‘em like a deck of cards.” By the time he was 39
years old, he’d made his way to the U.S. Senate. And just a couple

Capitol Building in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Allegedly, a doctor

by Huey P. Long’s bodyguards. Soon after, Huey P. Long was buried
16 feet deep on the front lawn of the state Capitol, with no
autopsy. Say hello on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram. Sign up for
