The French Quarter: An Informal History Of The New Orleans Underworld

About this book

For over a century the French Quarter was the center of a city of sin and gaiety unique on the North American continent. The development of the New Orleans of legend was fostered by an improbable mixture of Creoles, river gamblers, pirates, politicians, reckless women, adventuring aristocrats, and some of the world's most daring entrepreneurs. Anyone who wants to know the French Quarter must read their story. "Mr. Asbury has written one of the most incredible true stories of recent times."—Lyle Saxon author of Fabulous New Orleans
