In the first 200 years of New Orleans history, the Crescent City
has earned a reputation for sin, temptation, intrigue, lawlessness,
ritual-magic, and ghosts. Step back in time to the city's first few
crime-stained centuriesfrom 17181918to explore classic tales of
mischief, mayhem, and skullduggery. Arranged by topic you will be
compelled to find out whether the heart of Dixie truly beats with
wicked rhythms. Meet a cast of rascals and ruffians as you relive
the era of American piracy and smuggling. Discover legendary
sorcery and unspeakable rumors surrounding Voodoo and ghosts.
Examine violence, the largest mass-lynching ever on US soil, and a
unique red-light district. Remember, though, to have a jazz band or
recording handy...or the famed and frightening Axman may get you!
Here, the sallow specter of crime tends to stand with one foot in
the annals of historical fact, the other in folklore.
