Its name was changed to \u003cem\u003eThe Daily Picayune\u003c\/em\u003e on 2 November 1837, and today is called \u003cem\u003eThe Times-Picayune\u003c\/em\u003e. This book covers from 27 January 1837 to 26 December 1847. Slave owners and others placed notices in the classified ads of the newspaper offering rewards for apprehension of slaves. For those seeking slave ancestors, the ads are valuable resources. Names of slaves, usually first names only, but quite often full names as well; brief but vivid descriptions of slaves; dates they ran away; their trades or occupations; names of owners or persons holding them in custody; and other details are included in the ads. The author has provided three indices. The first index contains the names of the slaveholders and others. The second contains the full names of slaves, while the third index lists only the first names of slaves.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eHarry F.

New Orleans was originally named Nouvelle-Orléans in honor of His Highness, the Prince Regent of France, Louis Philippe, duc d'Orléans. The Vieux Carré, which literally means \"Old Square,\" is where the city initially planted its roots. According to the author, \"The purpose of this book is to present as accurate and as true a record of places and traditions in the Vieux Carré as has been possible to compile from painstaking research, and is designed for whoever may be as interested in the origin of facts as in the facts themselves.\" After a brief history of New Orleans and its colorful Mardi Gras tradition, readers are treated to a very detailed journey through the streets of the city: Royal Street, the Esplanade, Charles Street, Bourbon Street, and Dauphine Street. This guided tour includes a brief historical sketch of each building encountered along the way. Special attention is given to Jackson Square, Saint Louis Cathedral, the Cabildo, the Presbytére, and the Pontalba buildings. A wealth of illustrations by a variety of artists, several vintage photographs, and maps breathe life into the narrative. This intriguing portrait of New Orleans was \"compiled chiefly from ancient notarial acts, in every case the history of each old home has been searched through these conveyance records to establish original ownership and the year of actual building.\" The book concludes with a brief index to names, places, and subjects.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eStanley Arthur\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e(1936), 2007, 5.5\" x 8.5\", paper, index, 264 pp.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eISBN: 9780788427220\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e101-A2722\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Heritage Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39282993758326,"sku":"101-A2722","price":26.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1654\/3033\/files\/101-a2722-1500px.png?v=1776802679"},{"product_id":"101-h1137","title":"Abstract of Account Information of Freedman's Savings and Trust, New Orleans, Louisiana 1866-1869","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe information herein has been abstracted from National Archives microfilm copies of the Freedman's Savings and Trust Branch of New Orleans account records.
