Long-time chronicler of New Orleans' unique history, legends, and people, Raymond J. Martinez authored more than ten books that are still read today — to capture the lingering flavor of the city that care, and really time too, forgot. Such classic New Orleans books include 'Mysterious Marie Laveau, Voodoo Queen,' 'Louisiana's Fabulous Foods,' and (with Jack Holmes) 'New Orleans: Facts and Legends.'
The classic story of the New Orleans waterfront, c. 1955, is now in eBook format, including linked contents and index, and featuring all of the many illustrations and photographs found in the original paperback edition. Raymond J. Martinez was a prolific storyteller and historiographer of all things New Orleans, and in this work he accounts for many developments and people that still matter today.
