An illustrated history of New Orleans' monuments. From the statue of Joan of Arc that stands in the French Quarter to the Bienville Monument and the bust of General Lafayette, this guide provides a historical look at more than forty of the city's landmarks. Some remain ensconced in gardens or private collections while others exist in public view. Descriptions accompany each image, providing the legend behind each landmark and a deeper knowledge of New Orleans' rich past.

He went on to attend LSU Medical School in New Orleans and specialized in internal medicine. He and his brother, Wallace, opened a practice near Mercy Hospital in 1989.

Dr. Jeanfreau is certified as a principal investigator involved in clinical pharmaceutical research and has co-authored three articles on immunization in scientific journals. He lives with his wife, Andrea, in Metairie, Louisiana, and continues to practice medicine with his brother.
