Crager, New Orleans, 1950 reprint of 1928 title. Lyle Saxon (1891-1946) was a New Orleans writer and journalist on The Times-Picayune, who wrote six books about his home city. Known as "Mr New Orleans," his output, and role as state director of the Louisiana Writer's Project (1935-43), were central to framing the city for automotive tourists. One of his most popular titles, Fabulous New Orleans examined waning Creole life in New Orleans, recounting its history through "fictitious personal reminiscences" of his first Mardi Gras.
