Early life Louis Keller was born on February 27, 1857, in
New York City. His grandfather was from
Switzerland. His French-born mother, Heloise de Chazournes, came from an aristocratic Catholic family who was prominent in New York society. The publication was loosely based on the registry for the
Metropolitan National Horse Show, held at the original
Madison Square Garden on Madison Avenue and East 26th Street since 1883, listing its attendees and directors. It was copyrighted, thus forbidding anyone from publishing the entire list and making it more secret and exclusive. ==References==
