- A wall of forts and palisades once surrounded New Orleans, but what happened to them? Well, there may yet be a trace of them left in the French Quarter!

DISCLAIMER: I am not a University-educated historian, Alex the Historian was a nickname I got while working at Disneyland as a tour guide. After 7 years of using it as a stage name for my channel, it would be detrimental to the channel to suddenly change the name.

I've really been enjoying these non-ocean liner videos.
I'm glad to hear it!
Now that is interesting. All over the world roads and land boundaries are often the last remnants of prior settlement, probably because they're a lot of work to change.
Alex, you have come such a long way since your "One man/One phone camera" videos. Best part of your vids is the variety of subjects you now cover. As always, top notch narration.......
Thank you! Yeah my interests cover such a wide range of topics!
@@AlextheHistorian I guess that makes you a true "Historian"
As I’ve said many times, Friday’s are that much better when a new Alex video drops! Very interesting subject!
Thanks Ken!
Interesting piece of history. TY
O ho! I saw "Alex the Historian" and "New Orleans" and immediately thought Disneyland! This report was a big surprise and very interesting. Thank you for sharing this history!
It's good to see that you enjoyed it!
Thanks, Alex! Watched it over from the beginning. Very nice work 😊
Thanks Linda! Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you That was So interesting!! Love exploring history like this and finding traces and signs of places that were here years ago. That was Wonderful!
That was very interesting thanks again Alex.
Interesting footprint investigation part!
Thanks!
Heart of the Night by Poco is the first thing I think of when it comes to New Orleans, second is the computer game Gabriel Knight. Funny, they both have night or knight in them. Now thirdly, I’ll think of its wall.
Great video! 👍
New Orleans couldn't be more different than where I'm from in many ways. Practically no elevation there, you're right on the river, whereas here in Colorado, we're much higher up. I would love to visit New Orleans someday (after all, it's the birthplace of my beloved jazz). It'd be like a whole new experience from what I'm used to.
I agree, I've never been to New Orleans and I want to go so much!
Very interesting
So fascinating and very important to document this type stuff. Some experts suspect New Orleans will be underwater sooner than later. It's important to document the history of it before that happens. Future explorers will explore the modern city under water without knowing there was a whole history that was there before the current buildings.
I believe the Hotel de la Monnaie was built around the time of the 1984 World's Fair. I looked at the history aerials website but can’t tell if there was a building where the parking lot is.
If there was, then the last time there would have been buildings there was before the 1900s. I couldn't find any photographs of that area that pre-dated the 1920s.
This is excellent. I am enjoying it.
Great video
Fascinating! Didn’t know about that at all. Thanks Alex
Fantastic Alex great documentary!
Thank you!
Very nice video 💯💯💯
Thanks Mark!
Great and interesting video. Although I will admit that when I saw the thumbnail, I thought it meant walls around New Orleans Sq in Disneyland. Lmao !!
Great video anyways !!
Lol! Sorry, but at least you still enjoyed the video!
I appreciate the amount of work you put into this:-) thank you!
My pleasure!
Awesome video well done 😊
Thanks Ozzie!
Interesting 🙂
I actually thought this was about Disneyland lol
Hey Alex
#DisneyDiva ❤
Hi!
Alex will you ever go back to Disneyland? I am a big fan of Walt and Disneyland. Your videos on these subjects are some of, if not THE very best I've ever seen. Even better than many of the “official “ videos of the subjects.
Your video on the Architecture of Disneyland is my favorite Disneyland video ever.
It would be interesting to see what you would make of the place now days.
I dont think I will go back. For me, it's too expensive and too complicated to make a visit to Disneyland.
They need to rebuild the wall because there are too many tarantula heads in that hell hole.
It was a star fort
Isn't the French quarter we see today built by the Spanish
Yes, and I made sure to mention that in the video: "The fires of 1788 and 1794 largely wiped out the French Colonial architecture... ...the Spanish rebuilt the city with better fireproofing, regulating construction to masonry and stucco, with roofs made of slate."
when i visited new orleans. i couldn't find Pirates of the Caribbean
I hate slavery so not cool.
