by Charles D. Chamberlain (Author)

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.

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.
