    About this ebook

    The Past as Prelude is a collection of essays exploring the rich, cultural history of New Orleans over the city’s first 250 years from 1718–1968.
     
    In this topical history of one of America’s oldest cities, a group of talented essayists explore the fascinating and varied patterns that have marked New Orleans’ growth. These multiple perspectives allow glimpses into topics as varied as the diverse people of the city, the unique Creole architecture, the historic art scene, the distinctive music, the Civil War, and, of course, New Orleans’ continued reputation as a “good-time town.”
     
    Detailed illustrations complement this comprehensive volume.
