The Manhattaner In New Orleans: Or Phases Of Crescent City Life is a book written by Abraham Oakey Hall and originally published in 1851. The book is a detailed account of the author's experiences living in New Orleans, Louisiana, during the mid-19th century. Hall was a journalist and politician from New York City, and his observations of the city and its culture provide a unique perspective on life in the American South during this time period.The book is divided into several chapters, each of which focuses on a different aspect of life in New Orleans. Topics covered include the city's architecture, its music and dance traditions, its cuisine, its social customs, and its political climate. Hall also provides vivid descriptions of the city's many festivals and celebrations, including Mardi Gras and the St. Charles Races.Throughout the book, Hall offers his own opinions and commentary on the city and its people. He is often critical of the city's political corruption and its treatment of African Americans and other marginalized groups. However, he also expresses admiration for the city's vibrant culture and unique identity.Overall, The Manhattaner In New Orleans is an important historical document that provides a fascinating glimpse into life in one of America's most iconic cities during the mid-19th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
