What happens when the mighty Mississippi River overflows its banks and changes directions? What college began with gambling money? Find the answers to these questions and more in "It Happened in New Orleans." Meet the voodoo queen, a baroness, a pirate and many more real-life characters who helped make New Orleans the famous city it is today.
Ok so nothing historically important happened in New Orleans between Ruby Bridges integrating schools in 1960 and 2005? Otherwise this was a good, quick read about historical stuff that happened in the Big Easy. Nice to find a reference to home in "Gentleman" Jim Corbett.
