  From Bourbon Street to Pirate’s Alley and beyond—a local historian takes you on a walking tour of the historic French Quarter in New Orleans.   Walking through the French Quarter can overwhelm the senses—and the imagination. The experience is much more meaningful with knowledge of the area’s colorful history. For instance, the infamous 1890 “separate but equal” legal doctrine justifying racial segregation was upheld by the Louisiana Supreme Court at the Cabildo on Jackson Square. In the mid-twentieth century, a young Lee Harvey Oswald called Exchange Alley home. One of New Orleans’s favorite cocktails—the sazerac—would not exist if Antoine Peychaud had not served his legendary bitters with cognac from his famous apothecary at 437 Royal. Local author Andy Peter Antippas presents a walking history of the Vieux Carre, one alley, corner and street at a time.

  Accompanied by her daughter Rachel and a loveable horse named Egbert, Dervla Murphy journeys across Cameroon, discovering a land of astonishing natural beauty and friendliness. Dervla and Rachel are frequently mistaken by the locals for husband and wife during their time in the country, leading on one occasion to Dervla exposing her chest as proof of her femininity. They are, by turns arrested, drenched by tropical storms and burnt by the hot African sun. Yet at the heart of this account is the two women's endearing charm, and their fondness for the amiable, laid-back Cameroonians with whom they become well acquainted.
