"Voodoo in New Orleans" by Robert Tallant

This book is about what people perceived the Voodoo Religion in New Orleans, Louisiana, to be like. It is a bit "sensational" but is an excellent example of the common "popular perception" of the Voodoo Faith, in 1946. If you are interested in the Voodoo Religion or just New Orleans and Louisiana History, buy this book. You will enjoy it.
