"Since as early as the 1700s, New Orleans has been a city filled
with sin and vice. Those first pioneering citizens of the Big Easy
were thieves, vagabonds and criminals of all kinds. By the time
Louisiana fell under American control, New Orleans had become a
city of debauchery and corruption camouflaged by decadence. It was
also considered one of the country's most dangerious cities, with a
reputation of crime and loose morals. Rampant gambling and
prostitution were the norm in nineteenth-century New Orleans, and
over one-third of today's French Quarter was considered a hotbed of
sin. Tales in this volume of streets of the Crescent City in the
early 1900s and Kate Townsend, a prositute who was murdered by her
own lover, a man who later wass awarde her inheritance. Troy Taylor
takes a look back at New Orleans's early wicked days and historic
crimes" --Back cover.
