The Accidental City: Improvising New Orleans

The Accidental City: Improvising New Orleans

Americaâ€™s most beguiling metropolis started out as a snake-infested, hurricane-battered swamp. Through intense imperial rivalries and ambitious settlers who risked their lives to succeed in colonial America, the site became a crossroads for the Atlantic world. Powell gives us the full sweep of the cityâ€™s history from its founding through statehood.
