Southern Queen: New Orleans in the Nineteenth Century
With the caveat that I only read the antebellum portion of this very capable history of New Orleans, I found the work had a strong combination of facile and adept narrative and a wonderful particularity, which is the stuff of which great histories are made. This work is readable in a single sitting, but memorable for weeks after.
