Gumbo Ya-ya gets into the history of certain groups of New Orleans, such as the Creoles, the Cajuns, the Knickerbockers and the like. Has some good old folk tales from New Orleans, as well.
Probably my favorite book about New Orleans (after Confederacy, of course).
Some that I love:
Gumbo Ya-Ya
Which is a collection of folk tales collected from 1930-1940 for the WPA Writers' Project and thoroughly entertaining. I will throw a caution out for the blatant racism/classism of Louisiana in the 1930's, but it's totally worth it.
