Hearn's influence on our perceptions of New Orleans, however, has unjustly remained unknown. In ten years of serving as a correspondent and selling his writing in such periodicals as the New Orleans Daily Item, Times-Democrat, Harper's Weekly, and Scribner's Magazine he crystallized the way Americans view New Orleans and its south Louisiana environs. Hearn was prolific, producing colorful and vivid sketches, vignettes, news articles, essays, t 607 $aNew Orleans (La.)$vLiterary collections 607 $aNew Orleans (La.)$xDescription and travel 676 $a813/.4 700 $aHearn$b Lafcadio$f1850-1904.$0184617 701 $aStarr$b S.
