Book Signing with John Durel
Join us at the Shop at the Collection for a book signing with John W. Durel, author of Descendants: The Divided Lineage of a Louisiana Creole Family.
In light of the recent discovery by HNOC historian Jari C. Honora that Pope Leo XIV has Creole roots in New Orleans, Durel’s book offers a unique perspective within the complex history of this Southern identity.
Durel’s family history is also intertwined with that of the Historic New Orleans Collection. The Creole cottage located at 726–28 Toulouse Street, now owned by HNOC, was originally built by Durel’s family in the 1830s. It is only fitting, then, that Durel conducted much of his research for Descendants at HNOC’s Williams Research Center.
