Podcast 65 – Boyd Cruise
Alvik Boyd Cruise (1908-1988) was an artist, art teacher, and the first director and curator of the Historic New Orleans Collection. We presented a number of his paintings in August’s edition of the Third Thursday Lecture Series at the Jefferson Parish Library. While JPL records the talks for their YouTube channel, we like to present the talks as a podcast.

How You Can Help NOLA History Guy
Things you can do RIGHT NOW to help us out!
- Buy my books! Edward Branley is the author of six books on New Orleans history. They’re available from local booksellers and all the usual online suspects.
- Book NOLA History Guy to speak at your event – Edward speaks to groups ranging in size to local groups like Kiwanis and Rotary to major conventions and trade shows.
- Buy me a Coffee on Ko-fi dot com. I just love this concept as a way to say thank you/tip creators you enjoy. Our idea of monetization is buying books and having us come to speak. If you see me at a coffee shop, stop and say hi. Otherwise, I’ll raise coffee cup to you if you treat me.
- Become a patron. Yes, we’re on Patreon. A lot of creators use the platform for direct monetization, and that’s great for them. We don’t have “exclusive content” for patrons. Still, if you think our history stuff is worth a dollar a month, go join!
