A walking history of the Vieux Carré, organized street by street, corner by corner, alley by alley.
Local author Andy Peter Antippas traces the French Quarter's layered past through specific addresses and incidents, from the 1890 Louisiana Supreme Court ruling at the Cabildo that upheld racial segregation, to Lee Harvey Oswald's mid-century residence on Exchange Alley, to Antoine Peychaud's apothecary at 437 Royal where the sazerac was born. A practical companion for anyone walking the neighborhood who wants the history behind what they're seeing.
