Description

Since as early as the 1700s, New Orleans has been a city filled with sin and vice. Those first pioneering citizens of the Big Easy were thieves, vagabonds and criminals of a wide variety. By the point Louisiana fell under American regulate, New Orleans had grow to be a city of debauchery and corruption camouflaged by decadence. It was once also thought to be one of the vital country’s most dangerous cities, with a reputation of crime and loose morals. Rampant gambling and prostitution were the norm in nineteenth-century New Orleans, and over one-third of these days’s French Quarter was once thought to be a hotbed of sin. Tales on this volume include that of the notorious Axeman who plagued the streets of the Crescent City within the early 1900s and Kate Townsend, a prostitute who was once murdered by her own lover, a man who later was once awarded her inheritance. Troy Taylor takes a look back at New Orleans’s early wicked days and historic crimes.
