Hoosier at the New Orleans hotel feasts and fights
An illustrated fragment recounts a Hoosier guest at the St Charles Hotel in New Orleans near the eve of a reported attack on the city. He ignores dinner etiquette, tries other guests' wine, proclaims private pudding, and participates in a noisy dining room scene before exiting to seek fresh thrills. The tale also notes staged animal displays and a cobra mongoose duel in the courtyard, reflecting varied colonial entertainments and social missteps.
