Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - On April 25, 1862, New Orleans looked toward the Mississippi River and saw defeat coming upriver.Union ships had forced their way past the forts below the city and brought the Confederacy's greatest port under Federal guns. New Orleans had been told to trust Forts Jackson and St. Philip. Instead, the river that made the city rich became the road of conquest.Civil War New Orleans tells the story of a city caught between Confederate pride and Union power. It follows New Orleans from secession and the panic on the levee to Benjamin F. Butler's harsh military rule, the execution of William B. Mumford, General Order No. 28, and life under occupation.But occupation was only the beginning. As slavery weakened and Federal power reshaped the city, Black soldiers, free people of color, formerly enslaved people, Unionists, Southern Democrats, merchants, clergy, editors, and political leaders struggled over what New Orleans would become. From the Louisiana Native Guards, the New Orleans Massacre of 1866, and the Battle of Liberty Place, the city became a battleground over emancipation and Reconstruction.This is the story of a city conquered but never settled. Its buildings survived, but its politics, labor system, racial order, and civic life were thrown into crisis. New Orleans changed hands in 1862, but the fight over its future lasted far longer than the war itself.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - The first surprise is the brightness.In New Orleans, the cemeteries do not hide the dead beneath quiet lawns. They raise them into view. Whitewashed tombs catch the Louisiana sun. Wall vaults line narrow paths. Iron gates, marble tablets, crosses, angels, and weathered family names turn burial grounds into miniature cities of memory.A Guide to New Orleans Cemeteries is a clear, respectful, and richly detailed companion to the tombs, legends, and hidden histories of the Crescent City. Blending accessible history with visitor guidance, Gavin Benoit explains why above-ground burial became so closely associated with New Orleans, how family tombs and society tombs worked, what cemetery symbols mean, and how water, faith, disease, class, race, architecture, and memory shaped these remarkable landscapes.From St. Louis Cemetery No. 1 and the tomb associated with Marie Laveau to Lafayette Cemetery No. 1, Metairie Cemetery, Greenwood, Holt Cemetery, Charity Hospital Cemetery, and other lesser-known burial grounds, this book looks beyond the usual tourist legends to reveal the people, traditions, and preservation struggles behind the city's famous 'cities of the dead.'Designed for travelers, history lovers, cemetery walkers, and armchair readers alike, this guide offers practical context, respectful etiquette, notable burials, suggested itineraries, and a glossary of cemetery terms. It is not a ghost story, though legends appear. It is a guide to seeing New Orleans through one of its most revealing landscapes.A historical guide to New Orleans cemeteries, above-ground tombs, cemetery legends, and the hidden burial traditions of the Crescent City.…

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. What if the most misunderstood tradition in New Orleans is also one of its oldest and most enduring?In the streets of the French Quarter, along the quiet waters of Bayou St. John, and deep within the city's layered past, Voodoo has long been surrounded by mystery, fear, and fascination. For generations, stories have painted it as something secretive, dangerous, and otherworldly.The truth is far more complex and far more compelling.In The History of Voodoo: Spirits, Rituals, and Sacred Traditions of New Orleans, historian Gavin Benoit traces the origins of this powerful spiritual tradition from its roots in West Africa to its transformation in Haiti and its lasting presence in New Orleans. Along the way, he explores the lives of the people who shaped it, from the legendary Marie Laveau to the priests, healers, and practitioners who carried these traditions across centuries.Blending careful historical research with vivid storytelling, this book separates myth from reality, revealing Voodoo not as a curiosity or spectacle, but as a living religion shaped by survival, adaptation, and community.Discover the ceremonies, beliefs, and cultural forces that gave rise to one of the most iconic traditions in American history and learn how it continues to influence the identity of New Orleans today.A compelling exploration of history, religion, and folklore in the heart of the Crescent City.
