Book excerpt: In 1938, under the direction of novelist and historian Lyle Saxon, The Federal Writers' Project of the Works Progress Administration produced this delightfully detailed portrait of New Orleans.

Remarkably, many of the sites and attractions the WPA chronicled in 1938 are still around today.
