A truetolife impression of Storyville, the only legally established red light district in the USAt the turn of the twentiethcentury, there were hundreds of redlight districts in the United States, ranging in size from a discreet house or two in or near small towns and cities to block after bawdy block of brothels in larger cities such as Chicago and San Francisco. Storyville, New Orleans: Being an Authentic, Illustrated Account of the Notorious Red Light District seeks to offer the reader a reasonably truetolife impression of Storyville, the most famous of the large districts and the only such district in the United States that was legally established.Storyville was an area, carefully defined by law, outside of which prostitutes or women notoriously abandoned to lewdness were not permitted to live or work. Prostitutes working within the District were considered to be engaged in legal enterprises so long as they confined themselves to prostitution and other related activities such as dispensing food and drink to their customers.From the early days of the French colony of Louisiana, a great number of prostitutes, women from correctional centers, and those with socalled loose morals were transported to the New World, resulting in a large proportion of the earliest female residents in New Orleans engaging in prostitution. During the course of Storyvilles legal existence from January 1, 1898 to November 12, 1917it is evident that in establishing this district the New Orleans city council acted out of a sense of frustration after decades of attempting to deal rationally with a serious social problem. As the author says in the preface, You may see this as a disorderly book about disorderly housesand so it may be. But I doubt you will find it dull.
