Podcast 63 – The Allard Plantation
Podcast 63 presents the Allard Plantation, now New Orleans City Park.<br /> The Allard Plantation<br /> <br /> The land along Bayou St. John, from Lake Pontchartrain to the “Great Portage” attracted members of Bienville’s exploration party from the first trips they made to what would be their Crescent City colony. While most of the French worked to establish the city, a few individuals broke off, heading back up the bayou, living with the indigenous. Small shacks evolve into farms, eventually becoming full plantations by the time of Spanish control.<br /> One of those farms that becomes a plantation was owned by the Allard family. It’s the origin story of our beloved City Park.<br /> The Podcast<br /> <br /> <a href="https://nolahistoryguy.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/allard_plantation_20260406.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">PDF Here</a><br /> Early French Explorers<br /> <br /> Spanish and American Maps<br /> <br /> flipped<br /> <br /> The Oaks — Suicide, Dueling, and Singing<br /> Suicide Oak<br /> Dueling Oak<br /> Singing Oak<br /> City Park<br /> New Orleans City Park by Catherine Campanella<br /> book<br />

Podcast 62 – Battle of New Orleans (for Walking Tour Guides)
This is the podcast version of the lecture I presented on the Battle to the Friends of the Cabildo WTG 2026.<br /> <br /> Podcast 62 – Battle of New Orleans (for Walking Tour Guides)<br /> I had the pleasure of presenting to the Friends of the Cabildo’s Walking Tour Guide class of 2026 last month, on the Battle of New Orleans. The talk lasted about 50 minutes, plus questions. As a pod, it’s a bit longer, since we’re not on the tight schedule.<br /> Condensed presentation<br /> The audience for this talk was very specific: streetwalkers! As such, there’s not a lot related to the battle that relates directly to a French Quarter Walking Tour. Still, it’s one of the most significant events in the American period of the history of the city. So, while we didn’t want to go too deep into the military tactics and such, some basics should be in the back of the guide’s head.<br /> The Podcast<br /> <br /> <a href="https://nolahistoryguy.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/bno_foc_wtg_20260406.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">PDF of the slides.</a><br /> Staff Ride Handbook<br /> While working on this talk, I came across a battle resource, <a href="https://www.armyupress.army.mil/Portals/7/educational-services/staff-rides/StaffRideHB_NewOrleans.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Staff Ride Handbook for The Battles of New Orleans, 23 December 1814 – 8 January 1815</a> (PDF). This handbook, produced by the Combat Studies Institute of the United States Army, is fantastic. Here’s its abstract:<br /> The Combat Studies Institute is pleased to publish The Staff Ride Handbook for the Battles of New Orleans, 23 December 1814-8 January 1815, covering the final battles of the War of 1812. Interest in the details of this often-overlooked conflict has increased as a result of recent bicentennial observances, exposing a new generation of students to a unique period in our Army’s history. Most survey course references to the War of 1812 concern the demonstrably different performances of the US Army and US Navy, the latter getting the better coverage. That comparison however, lies at the heart of why this war and this series of battles are crucial to understanding the development of both the Army as an institution and civil-military relations more generally from 1815 to 1941. This handbook will help new and returning students to look at the battles of New Orleans in the proper context, aided by a wealth of new scholarship produced over the last 30 years.<br /> French Quarter Walking Tours<br /> As always, you’re most welcome to join us on a <a href="https://friendsofthecabildo.org" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Friends of the Cabildo French Quarter Walking Tour</a>!<br />

Podcast 61 – When the French Quarter Was Sicilian
Podcast version of our Third Thursday Sicilian talk.<br /> <br /> Podcast 61 – When the French Quarter was Sicilian<br /> <br /> Thanks to everyone who came out last Thursday night for our fourth talk in our “Third Thursday Lecture Series.” This talk is essentially a lecture, now podcast, version of part of my “down-river” French Quarter Walking Tour. We explore the part of the Quarter known as “Little Palermo” in the early part of the 1900s. From the riverfront to the French Market, up into the neighborhood, we talk about produce farmers, market vendors, grocers, bakers, organized crime, and a well-known ice cream guy.<br /> As mentioned in the presentation, I am a volunteer tour guide for the <a href="https://friendsofthecabildo.org" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Friends of the Cabildo</a> (FOC). The FOC offers one of the best French Quarter Walking Tours, and I’m proud they let me do them! This presentation is more-or-less a verbal/image “walk” like my tour. When going “down-river” from Jackson Square, you just can’t avoid talking about the Sicilian influence in the French Quarter, beginning in the 1880s. You’re most welcome to join us on the tour–click the link for more information.<br /> The Pod<br /> <br /> <a href="https://nolahistoryguy.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/french_quarter_sicilian_podcast.pdf">PDF of the presentation here.</a><br /> While there are several good books on the Sicilian influences and history in New Orleans, I really enjoy Dr. Nystrom’s. The book goes well beyond just Da Quarters, but his thoughts on “Little Palermo” are excellent.<br /> Scenes<br /> <br /> Sicilian Lemons, which became part of the tariff issues in 1897.<br /> <br /> Produce stall at the French Market, 1920s (colorized by NOLA History Guy)<br /> Central and Progress Groceries<br /> While <a href="https://perroneandsons.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Progress Grocery</a> ain’t there no more, <a href="https://centralgrocery.com/">Central Grocery</a> is still selling muffulettas at 923 Decatur Street. The Peronne family closed their grocery at 1003 Decatur, but still operate as a wholesale business. You can buy Progress Grocery brand olive salad and other products at local supermarkets.<br />
