Presents the history of New Orleans' early years, tracing the town's development from its origins in 1718 to its revolt against Spanish rule in 1768. This book presents an account of New Orleans' wild youth. It features a cast of strong-willed captives, thin-skinned nobles, sharp-tongued women, and carousing travelers.
