Travels Through that Part of North America Formerly Called Louisiana, Volum 2T. Davies, 1771 - 436 sider "This narrative is comprised of a series of twenty-one letters to the Marquis de L'Estrade describing Bossu's life and travels in the vast Louisiana country from 1751 to 1762. His ventures ranged from Fort Chartres, in present-day Illinois, to Mobile, and along the Mississippi. His visit to New Orleans took place only thirty years after its founding, and he was able to gather considerable information from the memories of locals. ... Almost all of the second volume of this edition is given over to the catalogue of plants, making it an important piece of American natural history." -- William Reese Company catalog 347 "The Streeter Sale Revisited Fifty Years Later." |
