Creole Calas Criers (Paperback)

Along the streets today in New Orleans, Louisiana, walking upon the, weathered, WELL-traveled cobblestones, surrounded by the, enclosing, brick townhouses exploiting their French architecture and decoration in the Black, wrought iron gates, windows, and balconies, one can feel "danger in the air" blended with the delightful aroma of fried Pastries, Seafood, laughter, fun, loud bands, music, and different cultures and nationalities of people/visitors, as well as, the faint cry of the "Street Siren from the Sea"... "B-E-L-L-E...T-A-U-T...C-H-A-U-D!"

Slavery, legal and illegal gambling of Large, sums of money, products, and Large, plantations of land, and, a Civil and Political War, were to fall, as Rome...
