"New Orleans in its golden age of spectacular wickedness gained full stature as a city of sin and gaiety unique on the North American continent. Contributing to that sinful stature were river gamblers, pirates, Creoles, politicians, practitioners of voodoo, and the ladies of Basin Street and Storyville"--Back cover.
