Intended for general readers, Charles D. Chamberlain's New Orleans: A Concise History of an Exceptional City offers a broad, reliable overview of the city's history. Although many excellent books are available that focus on specific eras in the Crescent City, this book is the first fully inclusive scholarly history that is engaging and easy to follow.
In addition to a general historical narrative, each chapter provides a list of relevant historical sites and a carefully selected recipe to make the city's history come to life through site visits and culinary pursuits. Chamberlain encourages readers to experience the spirit of New Orleans first-hand by exploring its landscape and interacting with its cuisine. New Orleans: A Concise History of an Exceptional City is a trusty reference for tour guides and a valuable, interactive resource for general readers interested in the fascinating history of one of America's most unique cities.Languages:EnglishPublisher:LSU PressISBN-13:9780807184875ISBN-10:080718487XUPC:9780807184875Book Category:History, TravelBook Subcategory:United StatesBook Topic:State & Local, SouthSize:7.96 x 7.06 x 1.06 inchesWeight:1.23Product ID:SCSB6E03VY
