Purchase options and add-ons

See how New Orleans became a place where several cultures met and blended to create a city and lifestyle unlike any in the United States.


Few cities boast a heritage as rich and a local color as dynamic as that of New Orleans, which is known around the world for its unique architecture, exquisite cuisine, flamboyant celebrations, and exotic peoples. Founded in 1718 as a backwater outpost of France, New Orleans was the catalyst for the greatest land deal in the history of the world, the Louisiana Purchase. Discover in these pages what made one city so appealing that one-third of the continental United States was purchased in order to obtain it. Images of the old city streets and such well-known districts as the French Quarter reveal the charm and mystery of New Orleans, and are complimented by informative and historical captions. A virtual tour of the city, New Orleans provides readers with a glimpse into the past and preserves the images of landmarks that have vanished. A scrapbook of memories for longtime residents of the city, this unique pictorial history will also be embraced by the millions of visitors who are captivated by the Crescent City.

More History from the Southeast Hundreds of ornately decorated rooms, gardens and greenery and more--Walk through the history of the Biltmore Estate, one of America's many displays of personal wealth and decadence. Although Charleston's contemporary gardens are well documented in other sources, those of past generations are depicted here, reminding readers that Charleston was primarily a city of family homes where life was enjoyed in the garden. Once home to fishermen and well-to-do winter vacationers, the area's gulf beaches became a popular getaway for newly prosperous middle-class families, anxious to put war-weary years behind them. Within these pages, the story of Jekyll's transformation unfolds through historic photographs of the island, its early residents, and devoted beachcombers. Images of America: Biloxi showcases the city's history, including tales about the seafood and canning industries, immigration, religion, centuries of tourism, gambling, and diversity, as well as the Keesler Air Force Base. In 1941, Tuskegee, Alabama, was selected as the site of an important new development in military training. For the first time, black Americans were to be allowed to serve their country as members of the United States Army Air Corps.

Historic photographs tell the story of one of the largest shipyards on earth and exemplify what American hands are capable of creating. On November 20, 1968, the Farmington No. 9 mine explosion changed the course of safety for future mining and the lives of 78 families whose sons, husbands, fathers, and loved ones never came back from the cateye shift the next day. Since 1936, Keeneland Race Course in Lexington, Kentucky, has represented the gentility and excitement of Thoroughbred horse racing. To central Kentuckians, it is an enduring part of their culture and a fun place for all generations. From a hot springs attraction to a central location for gangsters, gambling, moonshine and organized crime, trace the evolution of this "loose buckle in the Bible belt", now a resort and major tourist destination. The music that has been produced in Memphis over the past 100 years is as unique and diverse as the city itself. See how New Orleans became a place where several cultures met and blended to create a city and lifestyle unlike any in the United States.

This book is an excellent gift for someone from New Orleans. I bought this as a Mother’s Day gift for my mom and she sent me a thank you card telling me she was really enjoying the book! I added it to a New Orleans themed gift basket.

Reviewed in the United States on January 16, 2016
There are probably a dozen or so cities worldwide that can accurately be described as unique. New Orleans would arguably be one of those cities. Jefferson and Napoleon negotiated the purchase and sale of the Louisiana Purchase in 1803 for two basic and dissimilar reasons; Jefferson wanted to assure the expansion of the United States to the Pacific Ocean and Napoleon needed the money. New Orleans also enjoyed a unique geographical status; located at the head of the largest inland water way system in the United States and also where that water way system had an easy access to the Gulf of Mexico and thence to the oceans of the World. This acquisition by the United States also brought economic and territorial stability to the region that enabled its development into that world class city. This modest little volume with maps, pictures and text details the history of New Orleans and helps understand it's uniqueness!
