Side 90 - Parma, the colony or province of Louisiana, with the same extent that it now has in the hands of Spain, and that it had when France possessed it, and such as it should be after the treaties subsequently entered into between Spain and other States.
Side 13 - Liars [ie, Cottonwood Swamp], which is near by, and whose population consists of [no number given in MS.] persons. All the young men of this last settlement are hunters, although there are also good planters. It is about eleven years since the villages of San Fernando and Carondelet have been settled by the people of San Luis, who at the present time get a great part of their provisions from these two towns.
Side 108 - Charboniere'1 is on the right bank of the Missouri. This name was given it by the boatmen and the earliest settlers, on account of several narrow beds of coal, which appear a few feet from the water's edge, at the base of a high cliff of soft sandstone. The smell of sulphur is very perceptible along the bank of the river, occasioned doubtless by the decomposition of pyrites, in the exposed parts of the coal beds. Some small masses of sulphate of lime also occur, and have probably derived their origin...

Side 24 - ... all spoke French, it was a sine qua non in their appointment; the few Spaniards that settled in the country soon became Frenchmen and all married French wives; no Frenchman became a Spaniard; two or three of the Governors were Frenchmen by birth; the wives of Governors Piernas and Trudeau were French ladies.
Side 16 - ... from which, in the beautiful valley below, rising above the forest, appear the steep roofs and tall chimneys of the little hamlet of Florissant. Its original name was St. Ferdinand, titular saint of its church; and though one of the most advanced in years, it is by no means the most antiquelooking of those ancient villages planted by the early French. Its site is highly romantic, upon the banks of a creek of the same name, and in the heart of one of the most fertile and luxuriant valleys ever...
Side 186 - ... prepare the children to become guides, interpreters and helpers to the missionaries when the time comes to send the latter forth to the scattered...
Side 133 - At last we were obliged to let her have her own will and make her way back to the farm. I carried in my pocket our money and papers, but the strings broke and everything, including a watch, fell into the snow. The wind having blown the snow in my gloves, they were frozen on my hands and I could not take hold of anything.
Side 24 - France and Trudeau was of French stock, and nearly all the papers in the archives were in the French language. The country was only Spanish by possession, but practically French in all else.
Side 15 - Ferdinand. It contains about sixty houses; most of them are situated on a rising ground, at the foot of which Is a considerable stream of pure water, and on the opposite side is one of the most fertile and valuable prairies in the country. The inhabitants of this village are also Creoles and Canadians. The inhabitants of all the compact villages are of this description: But the extensive settlements about the country have been made by the English Americans; these form about three-fifths of the populations,...
