1948 Rampart Street By Everett & Olga Webber Vintage Hardcover Book 2nd Printing Turbulent romance and hot blooded adventure in 18th Century New Orleans. New Orleans in the 18th century, and those days of high living and easy loving in a story which takes in many elements, piracy and smuggling, gambling men and sporting ladies in a society which permitted but stigmatized the white man's prerogative to his Creole girl on Rampart Street. In particular this tells of Captain John Carrick and the three women who loved him; Elizabeth d'Ivre, who ran away from gambler Galvez to marry Carrick, was shot by him in revenge; Simone, a Madam of considerable power who tried to get her hold on Carrick through the notes she held on his ship- but failed; and Rafaelle, whose bloodlines branded her as an octoroon, who loved Carrick from the time he saved her on the auctioneer's block, whose marriage to him after Elizabeth's death was never legalized. Light wear on dust cover good condition overall.
