Book excerpt: Champ d'Asile was the name of a short-lived French colony on the lower Trinity River in 1818. The first French colony, that of LaSalle in the 1680's, is well known in Texas history. This second attempt to establish a French presence in Spanish Texas is much less known yet has a fascinating story to tell. It was designed to be the springboard by which Napoleon Bonaparte would be freed from prison and returned to power as King of Mexico and the Indies, thus reigniting his effort to create a global Napoleonic Empire. This book tells the history of Champ d'Asile and uses extensive archival information to identify its location -- on the Trinity at Moss Bluff. Champ d'Asile is the first volume of a series of essays by James Woodrick about interesting but little-known "Snippits of Texas History".

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A surprising history of explorers, pirates, priests, artists, and more: “The best overall study of the French experience in Texas ever assembled.” —Jack Jackson, editor of Texas by Terán The flag of France is one of the six flags that have flown over Texas, but all that many people know about the French presence in Texas is the ill-fated explorer Cavelier de La Salle, fabled pirate Jean Lafitte, or Cajun music and food. Yet the French have made lasting contributions to Texas history and culture that deserve to be widely known and appreciated. In this book, François Lagarde and thirteen other experts present original articles that explore the French presence and influence on Texas history, arts, education, religion, and business from the arrival of La Salle in 1685 to the dawn of the twenty-first century. Each article covers an important figure or event in the France-Texas story. The historical articles thoroughly investigate early French colonists and explorers; the French pirates and privateers; the Bonapartists of Champ-d’Asile; the French at the Alamo; Dubois de Saligny and French recognition of the Republic of Texas; the nineteenth-century utopists of Icaria and Reunion; and the French Catholic missions. Other articles deal with French immigration in Texas, including the founding of Castroville; Cajuns in Texas; and the French economic presence in Texas today—the first such study ever published. The remaining articles look at painters Théodore and Marie Gentilz; sculptor Raoul Josset; French architecture in Texas; French travelers from Théodore Pavie to Simone de Beauvoir who have written on Texas; and the French heritage in Texas education. Includes more than seventy photos and illustrations

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1818, following the fall of Napoleon and the restoration of the Bourbon monarchy in France, a band of French veterans exiled in the United States established a short-lived settlement on the edge of Spanish Texas called Champ d'Asile ("Field of Asylum"). By combining French, Spanish and US sources, this essay seeks to reconstitute the mindset of these unlikely colonists and to distinguish their political agenda from the ideological debates provoked by their expedition in their home country. While French Liberals promoted a romanticized view of Champ d'Asile illustrated by the myth of the Soldat-Laboureur ("Farming Soldier"), the veterans themselves faced the realities of the American Southwestern frontier in the early nineteenth century, where they redefined their political, national and racial identity. This study analyzes these efforts and contrasts them with the propaganda they inspired, in an attempt to connect Atlantic History and Borderlands Studies by using a micro-history approach.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Amazing and exciting, as romantic as it is realistic and historically authentic, THE BONAPARTES IN AMERICA was the first published work to contain in one volume all available material, much of it newly discovered by them, on every member of the Bonaparte family that lived in the United States or was connected in any way with the country. Dr. Macartney, distinguished historian, former head of the Presbyterian Church in the United States, and Major Dorrance, author and publisher, roamed afar in their quest of new and important material. Research in the British Museum, and special trips through France and to Corsica, to mention but a few, went into their book of old romance, which was first published on the 100th anniversary of the former King Joseph Bonaparte’s final return to Europe from the United States. This one famous and colorful family has placed a great if hitherto little known part in the building of America, our native land. THE BONAPARTES IN AMERICA contains fascinating chapters on Jerome Bonaparte and Elizabeth Patterson; Charles J. Bonaparte of Baltimore; Joseph Bonaparte at Philadelphia, Bordentown, New Jersey, and Lake Bonaparte New York; the Murats of Florida; Napoleon III in New York City; Napoleon III and Mexico; The Napoleonic Exiles in Alabama; Texas and the Champ d’Asile; Marshal Ney and North Carolina; Napoleon and the Louisiana Purchase; Napoleon’s American Son in California; and American Plots to Rescue Napoleon from St. Helena. THE. BONAPARTES IN AMERICA is beautifully illustrated with old portraits and engravings, including pictures of Napoleon, Jerome and Elizabeth. Jerome Napoleon Bonaparte. Charles J. Bonaparte, Joseph Bonaparte, Joseph’s I Philadelphia home, “Point Breeze” and Bonaparte I park at Bordentown, Lake Bonaparte, Prince and Princess Achille Murat, Napoleon III, Letizia Bonaparte, mother of Napoleon, John Gordon Bonaparte of San Francisco and the Napoleon House at New Orleans.
