390. Ed Branley, part 1.

390. Part 1 of our talk with Ed Branley. Ed is a friend of ours, the NOLA history guy, and the author of Legendary Locals of New Orleans. Since its founding in 1718 by the LeMoyne brothers, New Orleans has cemented its status as one of the busiest ports on the continent. Producing many unique and fascinating individuals, Colonial New Orleans was a true gumbo of personalities. The city lays claim to many nationalities, including Spaniards Baron Carondelet, Don Andres Almonaster, and French sailors and privateers Jean Lafitte and Dominique Youx.
