THIS STORY:
James Gallier Senior was a prominent nineteenth-century Irish-born American architect, most famed for his buildings in New Orleans. On 3 October 1866, James and his second wife Catherine were passengers on board the Evening Star, a paddle-wheel steamer en route from New York City to New Orleans, when it sank in a hurricane about 175 miles east of Savannah, Georgia.

THESE TOURS:
The Historic Cemeteries of New Orleans are historically and culturally distinctive in that they are an amalgam of the French, Spanish, and Caribbean historical influences on the city of New Orleans in addition to limitations resulting from the city's high water table. The cemeteries reflect the ethnic, religious, and socio-economic heritages of the city.
Architecturally, they are predominantly above ground tombs, family tombs, civic association tombs, and wall vaults, often in neo-classical design and laid out in regular patterns similar to city streets. They are at times referred to colloquially as āCities of the Deadā, and some of the historic cemeteries are tourist destinations.

THIS CHANNEL:
_________________________________________________________
The Angel face you see is the Haserot, named āThe Angel of Death Victorious". The stoic angel is seated on the marble gravestone of canning entrepreneur Francis Haserot and his family. Holding an extinguished torch upside-down, it represents a symbol of life extinguished. Wings are outstretched and the gaze is straight ahead.
IN THE END, DEATH ALWAYS WINS. LEST THE FACES NOT BE FORGOTTEN...
This channel is focused on casually walking and viewing a handful of the thousands of forgotten names and faces at various cemeteries near and afar. Seeing their faces up close. And when able, telling the stories behind their names.
Most graves are unknown and lost to history.
Some are famous.
And some infamous....
....and some with tragic endings.

For those of you that missed the note I had put in the description box regarding the woman at the end: š NOTE - There is no surviving photograph of the Italian Prima donna who went down in the last moments of the sinking, so Lulu White, the famous black owner of New Orleanās most notorious brothel āMahogany Hallā, which was at itās height later on in the 1890ās, has made a special appearance for us to stand in to help portray that final fateful moment.

Ron, thank you for another wonderful "faces of the Forgotten". Your photography and narrations make us all feel we are part of the story.
-
We just can't begin to imagine the terror they must have felt in those desolate, angry seas, while awaiting their imminent fate. š May they rest in peace.
-
As I said before, Ron, this is truly your place to shine, your storytelling is wonderful ā¤
-
Love watching your channel! I learn something new every time I watch. Your narrations, pace, and tone are top notch. I enjoy your humor, and audience interaction. Your wealth of life experience and knowledge of history. Keeps me coming back for more. Thank you so very much! š

My God. The man fell into the crack of the sinking ship that cracked in half, the lifeboats that were sucked into the sea as the ship sunk, the woman who knows she will drown... How horrible. The sound effects of your story were excellent - all that wind! The cemetery was very well kept - and then, sadly, the cracked plate of the subject of your story - the Gallier Monument. Thank you for the telling of this story. š
-
I love NOLA! I read about the Gallier house that was very modern for it's time! Love your tour! šš
-
I absolutely love New Orleans. The food is my favorite. I love the music, architecture and the culture.
-
I've enjoyed this series so much Ron. I live near Baton Rouge now and never really get down to New Orleans anymore, family has either died or moved away, so this was a treat.
-
I Love history and that's why your channel is so Great!!!
-
Just a riveting story, and to think of all of those souls who lost their lives, just traveling from New York to New Orleans! And I agree about the dismay. People would feel when the captain told them, I was lost! The captain obviously thought they deserved to know the truth. In my mind, it was a heroic decision to make. . Blessings to them all ššššššš

I've watched (tried out) a lot of similar channels and I must say I always come back to yours. Everything is perfect. I understand the difficulties one sometimes faces with weather and wind, etc. But you manage to make it work better on your channel than any other channel I've personally watched. If you ever tire of doing this, a lot of people will be sad. Hopefully you will have continued inspiration to provide us with these wonderful and knowledge filled videos. So much gratitude is sent to you, from me, for all your hard work and extensive travels. You are very much appreciated.

From watching your videos, I have learned that every cemetery is different and special in its own way. As always your presentations are beautifully doneā¤
-
Very sad but informative history..so many shipwrecks and their victims don't get remembered as do the big stories like Titanic..a touching tribute to a great man and the beautiful city of New Orleans.. I have only been there once, but really want to go again..I will visit Royal street and this monument if I do..thank you Ron for all that you do.
-
Seriously only one passenger survived, the rest was crew and the captain š©āāļø, wow. Another great story Ron, tragic though. RIP ato all that perished.
-
I love the stories providing the background and history of those passed. I truly love your channel!
-
Great story Ron but very sad too. Ty for all you do Ron....Hope you are having a great vacation in Mexico!! šš
-
This was a wonderful rendering of a very tragic story. You helped to make it feel like I was there watching this disaster unfold. These journeys can be painful at times but are so important to be undertaken in order to understand the past.
-
You are the best storyteller! Thanks again for a great video!!
-
