It is inevitable that a city known for its storytelling, like New Orleans is, would have its own story told by numerous storytellers who all present its history in various ways by focusing on different elements of its culture and historical events. This holds true for two books about the history of New Orleans: Beautiful Crescent: A History of New Orleans and The World That Made New Orleans: From Spanish Silver to Congo Square.
