Chronicles the history of the mule in New Orleans and greater Louisiana, featuring humorous stories gathered from interviews with the carriage drivers.  Sometimes tourists say the darndest things. Before automobiles, locals navigated New Orleans by mule and horse. Hardier than horses, mules fared better in the often sweltering New Orleans temperatures. The tradition of mule drawn carriages is a staple of New Orleans culture, offering the most authentic view of the storied streets of the French Quarter, early cemeteries, and the Garden District. Have your driver autograph your copy of Mule tales for a one-of-a-kind memento of your trip to this most unique city.
