Don't be fooled -- it's a pamphlet, not a book!
At $7, this is a rip. For just $5 more, you can get the excellent Frenchmen, Desire, Good Children: And Other Streets of New Orleans that will tell you the story of the city and its nomenclature since the Choctaws were first annoyed by the French. I am terribly disappointed in this purchase and will likely return it. Anyone who knows the city will see this slim offering...

This review is from: Street Names & Picayune Histories of New Orleans (Paperback)
This small book offers both the tourist and historian insights on little known facts about the origin of street names for the tour of historic New Orleans. It is written with humor and history. Excellent for one's first or tenth trip to this wonderful city. Map of the old city is helpful.

This review is from: Street Names & Picayune Histories of New Orleans (Paperback)
Every visitor going to New Orleans should take this book along. There is a quick, easy to read history of the city filled with many pictures of important people, flags flown over New Orleans and a map. There is a lot of information put into this small book. I found that it added a lot to read it just before we visited New Orleans.
