He authored 20 books and approximately 50 articles for scholarly literature.〔 Dufour’s column covered diverse topics including Louisiana history, New Orleans Mardi Gras, law, local sports, classical music, New Orleans cuisine, and European travel.〔(Tulane University Special Collections, Manuscripts Collection 90,779 ), Accessed November 25, 2011.〕 He lived his entire life in New Orleans, except to serve in the US Army in World War II in a non-journalistic role. Together with fellow local historian John Churchill Chase, he taught a course on New Orleans history at Tulane University for 25 years.〔 A 1967 ''New York Times'' article characterized Dufour as a columnist and historian "who has devoted most of his professional life to the idea that history is news".〔John K.
