A study of antebellum New Orleans during a time of rapid expansion and dizzying change. The story follows the twenty-year correspondence of Jean Boze to Henri de Ste-Gême, both refugees from Saint-Domingue. Exploring parts of the city's history that have previously been neglected, Nathalie Dessens examines how New Orleans came to symbolize progress, adventure, and culture to so many.
