To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Its farther-side boundary was on a line now indicated by Delord Street.
When the fire of 1788 laid nearly the lialf of 'New Orleans in ashes, his father, Bertrand, and his mother, Marie, had laid off this tract into lots and streets, to the depth of three squares backward from the river, and called it Villa Gra- vier. On her death, the name was changed in her honor, and so became the Faubourg Ste. Marie.
Capitalists had smiled upon the adventure. Julian Poy- dras, Claude Girod, Julia a free wom...an of color, and others had given names to its cross-streets by buying cor- ner-lots on its river-front. Along this front, under the breezy levee, ran the sunny and dusty Tchoupitoulas road, entei'ing the town's southern river- side gate, where a sentry-box and Spanish corporal's guard drowsed in the scant shadow of Fort St. Louis. Outside the levee the deep Mississippi glided, turbid, silent, often overbrimming, with many a swirl and upward heave of its boiling depths, and turning, sent a long smooth eddy back along this " making bank," while its main current hurried onward, townward, noHhward^ as if it would double on invisible piu'suers before it swept to the east and southeast from the Place d'Armes and disappeared behind the low groves of Slaughterhouse Point.
