Descrizione dell’articolo da parte del venditore

Paperback. When night falls in New Orleans, the past feels closer than it should.Gas lamps flicker along the narrow streets of the French Quarter. Iron balconies cast long shadows across old brick walls. In a city shaped by fire, disease, war, and tragedy, history often feels uncomfortably close to the present.For generations, residents and visitors have repeated stories of haunted houses, restless spirits, and mysterious encounters. The LaLaurie Mansion has become one of the most infamous buildings in America. A quiet residence on Dauphine Street is remembered for the strange legend of the Sultan's Palace. Restaurants, taverns, and hidden alleyways throughout the French Quarter have acquired reputations for unexplained sightings and lingering presences.Yet behind these stories lies something even more fascinating.In Shadows of the Crescent City, historian Gavin Benoit explores the real history that gave rise to New Orleans' most enduring ghost legends. Each chapter begins with documented events drawn from the city's past before tracing how tragedy, rumor, and generations of storytelling gradually transformed those events into the supernatural tales heard today.From the scandal of the LaLaurie Mansion to the shadowed passageways of Pirate's Alley, from the historic buildings surrounding Jackson Square to the candlelit rooms of Lafitte's Blacksmith Shop, the stories of New Orleans reveal how memory and folklore shape the way a city remembers its past.Blending careful historical research with the legends that continue to echo through the French Quarter, Shadows of the Crescent City invites readers to explore the history behind the hauntings of America's most mysterious city.Walk the streets. Hear the legends. Discover the history behind the hauntings. This item is printed on demand.
