From the earliest days of the French colony, New Orleans had grappled with prostitution as a social reality, and Storyville represented the city council's attempt at a regulated solution. It existed legally from January 1, 1898 to November 12, 1917. Rose chronicles its rise and fall with candor and detail, drawing on period photographs and primary sources to recreate a world that was bawdy, complicated, and unlike anywhere else in America.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePublished in 1997\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePaperback\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePublished by University of Alabama Press\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eISBN: 0817344039\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e240 pages\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"University of Alabama Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36665043845272,"sku":"1021","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/5528\/4888\/files\/storyville_book.jpg?v=1784580918","url":"https:\/\/shophnoc.com\/products\/storyville-new-orleans","provider":"The Shop at The Collection","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
