From the jacket flap
Walking Tours of Old New Orleans was written for those who want to wander along the narrow streets of New Orleans' Vieux Carr1/2 and view its historic antiquated buildings, look upon beflowered patios and flagged courtyards, or inspect the ancient wrought- and cast-iron railings that line the balconies of century-old Creole homes. It is for those who want to know authentic histories of these priceless relics of a city's romantic past.
Stanley Clisby Arthur's landmark work, updated here for the modern reader, tells the truth about the many colorful legends of the Old Square. The social life, traditions, history, romances, and intrigues of old Creole days may be relived as the pages of this fascinating book are turned. With it as a guide, the reader may saunter down rue Royale, Bourbon, Chartres, St. Peter, Toulouse, St. Louis, Dumaine, or the other quaint streets into what seems to be a curious Old World city of bizarre color and interesting customs.
Walking Tours of Old New Orleans is more than a guidebook. It is a fascinating series of word etchings concerning all the places of interest in the French Quarter. It is an authentic history of the original city, and gives an interesting insight into the old town's traditions.
