Excerpt from The Gulf CoastThe train, with clanging bell, rumbles slowly by long rows Of buildings, with low, peaked roofs and heavy-arched columns. They are resonant with the dialect of every race and nation on the globe, from the taciturn tongue of'the native Western Indian to the verbose vocalization of the almond-eyed, pig-tailed child of the Orient, from the harsh consonant-conquering speech of the Norseman and the Teuton to the melodious and softly-modulated language of the Latin. The rumble of the train can not drown the hum of converse in this modern Babel. This is the famous French Market, one of the greatest curiosities of New Orleans.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
