The legend of "Onionhead" appears in many sources around the world. This legend has an international reach, and not just as a tale about a man, but about a community overcome by superstition and blind fear. Consistently, articles in other countries specify Slidell as the source of this legend. There are minor variances in articles from country to country. Yet, almost all agree that these events occurred in Slidell, Louisiana, USA.
This book is based on that legend.
