Synopsis

Long before the organized street celebrations of New Orleans, a small group of men in Mobile, Alabama, started something new.


In the early 1800s they formed the first holiday mystic society — a secret group that took to the streets with masks, music, and homemade floats. What began as a local New Year’s celebration quickly grew into the colorful parades and street parties we now know as Mardi Gras.


Mystic Men tells the story of this early Mobile group and how their tradition spread across the Gulf Coast and beyond. It shows how a handful of masked revelers helped shape the style of American holiday street celebrations still enjoyed by millions today.


Simple, lively, and rooted in real history, this book brings to life the men who started it all — and the lasting mark they left on Carnival culture in America.
