In the Spirit by The Historic New Orleans Collection

The draft of World War I tore ten million men from the arms of their sweethearts, and deposited them, lonely, horny and broke, in the big cities. There they made a wonderful discovery: the red-light districts were full of friendly strangers who might offer a G.I. a cigarette, buy him a drink or a dinner, put him up for the night, shower him with affection, and even help him out with a few bucks. In this volume Hugh Hagius presents a short history of this forgotten front of World War I, along with a selection of candid snapshots of servicemen of the 1940s, '50s and '60s.
