Tragic Last Island Hurricane of 1856 Folklore
The account recalls the August 10 1856 Last Island hurricane off Barataria Bay near New Orleans. It describes the grand hotel at Lille Derniere with fashionables and musicians, the sudden gulf surge and windstorm, and the few survivors among 400 guests as the resort vanished into the sea. The narrator likens the storm to a tropical hurricane experienced personally with 1700 deaths.
