First published by now-defunct New Orleans publisher Robert L. Crager in 1949, the book remains funny and informative, generally accepted as a standard reference about the Crescent City. Frenchmen, Desire, Good Children, and Other Streets of New Orleans! details the interesting stories of the developers and families as well as the infamous and famous people, places, and events from which the city's names and character are drawn.
