Her four surviving siblings remained in Columbia, but the Bremers visited New Orleans with some frequency and determined to live there sometime before 1920. Laville Bremer (d. 1942), by inclination at least a local historian, published a well-known guide to New Orleans and it was evidently his interest in the history of the Gulf more broadly that precipitated the couple's remove to Waveland shortly before the first appearance, in 1932, of New Orleans Creole Recipes, where he undertook to write his history of settlement in the region, including the nearby islands, Amichel: A Narrative History of the Gulf Coast (New Orleans: The Author, 1940). ~ As of this writing nothing exceptional has come to light that might explain the intense interest in the foodways and folklore of New Orleans on display in Mary Moore Bremer's engaging prose.
