Old NOLA Journal: Photo from Jimmy LaRocca: Remains from "Old" Salaparuta
http://oldnolajournal.blogspot.com/2009/05/photo-from-jimmy-larocca-remains-from.html
A Blog History of Old New Orleans. Wednesday, May 6, 2009. Photo from Jimmy LaRocca: Remains from "Old" Salaparuta. As I reported two stories below, Salaparuta, Sicily suffered its own Katrina in 1968 in the form of a massive earthquake. It destroyed the entire town and made the whole population of 3,000 people homeless. Like Katrina in New Orleans, the earthquake of Salaparuta makes us realize what we have lost, and that we should never take things for granted. Posted by Adrian McGrath. Louisiana Histor...

Old NOLA Journal: Jean Lafitte: Rogue, Pirate, and Hero
http://oldnolajournal.blogspot.com/2012/05/jean-lafitte-rogue-pirate-and-hero.html
A Blog History of Old New Orleans. Thursday, May 31, 2012. Jean Lafitte: Rogue, Pirate, and Hero. This old drawing depicts a meeting among the three men who saved the city of New Orleans from a massive British invasion in 1814 - Governor William C. Claiborne, General Andrew Jackson, and the buccaneer Jean Lafitte. Claiborne handled the politics. Jackson handled the army. And Lafitte handled the pirates. Many of the facts of Lafitte's life are unsure. Where was he born? The odds were certainly with the Br...

Old NOLA Journal: July 2012
http://oldnolajournal.blogspot.com/2012_07_01_archive.html
A Blog History of Old New Orleans. Tuesday, July 3, 2012. The New Basin Canal, 1832 - 1838. Celtic Cross monument for the Irish workers. When the Irish arrived in America, they discovered that prejudice and discrimination existed here too. Many Irish immigrants, most of whom were poverty-stricken and poorly educated, were greeted with signs which said: "No Irish Need Apply." This meant that no one would hire the Irish except for the hardest and worst types of manual labor. New Orleans in 1834. All memory...

Old NOLA Journal: Palermo: Gen. Patton and WW2
http://oldnolajournal.blogspot.com/2009/05/palermo-gen-patton-and-ww2.html
A Blog History of Old New Orleans. Saturday, May 2, 2009. Palermo: Gen. Patton and WW2. Here's one more thing to add about Sicily and Palermo: Not only did Sicilians come to America, but Americans once went to Sicily. In this case it was between 12 July and 17 August, 1943 in what was called Operation Husky. The British 8th Army under Bernard Montgomery and the US 7th Army under the famous Gen. George S. Patton invaded the island and drove out the Nazis. Posted by Adrian McGrath. May 4, 2015 at 2:32 PM.

Old NOLA Journal: Salaparuta
http://oldnolajournal.blogspot.com/2009/05/salaparuta.html
A Blog History of Old New Orleans. Tuesday, May 5, 2009. See http:/ www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0.9171.837724.00%20html. People had been leaving Salaparuta for a long, long time, however, long before the 1968 catastrophe. In the 1800's people left because of poverty and civil instability. Some went elsewhere in Sicily or Italy or in the Mediterranean region. Others sailed across the Atlantic to America's eastern seaboard and New York City. But some came here to New Orleans. The mayor of New Orlean...

Old NOLA Journal: The Isle of St. Helena and New Orleans
http://oldnolajournal.blogspot.com/2009/06/isle-of-st-helena-and-new-orleans.html
A Blog History of Old New Orleans. Thursday, June 25, 2009. The Isle of St. Helena and New Orleans. A small island called Tristan da Cunha which was south of St. Helena had been captured by the British earlier to prevent it from being used as a base by the French or anyone else planning a rescue attempt of Napoleon. So, a rescue attempt was not seen as being far-fetched to the British Admiralty. What would have happened had Napoleon actually arrived in New Orleans? The reality is that Napoleon Bonaparte ...
