Bourbon? Calliope? St. Claude? Craps Street??! New Orleans history, legend, and myth are humorously and colorfully told through its street names, in a famous book all the locals grew up with — and tourists will enjoy — by cartoonist and humorist John Churchill Chase. The new ebook edition takes Chase's second and best edition and makes it more usable to the digital reader, adding a fully-linked index, active Contents, linked notes and cross-references, all the cartoons from the original, and more. It is searchable and properly formatted for e-readers, pads, and smartphones, and features all the drawings and map sketches of the original Second Edition, even including (unlike other versions) the cover inset drawings and the original dustjacket. A quality digital republication from Quid Pro Books and its Quaint Press imprint, this ebook still makes locals and visitors laugh while learning the sometimes embarrassing truths behind the people, neighborhoods, avenues, and "neutral grounds" of the hodgepodge that became New Orleans. "Once upon a time," Chase writes, "while minding my own business drawing historical cartoons, I became intrigued with the realistic manner in which the street names of New Orleans told my city's lusty history...." He closes his preface thanking his wife, "who says that she does so believe that I was at the library all the times I said I was, and not at the Sazerac Bar. I also wish to thank the bartenders of the Sazerac Bar." This classic work is funny yet very informative. And in its new digital format with special features from Quid Pro Books, it serves as a great guide to the city's pathways to the present.

New Orleans is a city of beautiful contradictions, evidenced by its street names. New Orleans crosses with Hope, Pleasure and Duels. Religious couples with Nuns, Market and Race. Music, Arts and Painters are parallel. New Orleans enfolds its denizens in the protection of saints, the artistry of Muses and the bravery of military leaders. The city's street names are inseparable from its diverse history. They serve as guideposts as well as a narrative that braid its pride, wit and seedier history into a complex web that to this day simultaneously joins and shows the cracks within the city. Learn about Bourbon's royal lineage, the magnitude of Napoleon's influence, how Tchoupitoulas's history is just as long and vexing as its spelling and why mispronouncing such streets as Burgundy, Calliope and Socrates doesn't mean you are incorrect--it just means you are local Told with precision and photos as vibrant, irreverent and memorable as La Nouvelle Orleans itself, author Sally Asher delivers an updated and reinvented look at the city that care forgot.
