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

Download or read book Sketches of Early Texas and Louisiana written by Frédéric Gaillardet and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 1966 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A lively report of travels in early nineteenth-century Texas and Louisiana and a fascinating account of the discovery, exploration, and settlement of those areas is presented in the work of this ebullient young French dramatist and journalist who traveled to Louisiana in 1837 and to Texas in 1839. Frédéric Gaillardet, an alert and talented writer of the romantic school, was lured away for a decade from a successful career in Paris to satisfy his wanderlust and to seek inspiration on the American frontier. During that time he visited the American Southwest, and he talked with many personages there—men like Sam Houston, Mirabeau B. Lamar, and Achille Murat. His character sketches of these men add zest to the book, as do the facets of Gaillardet's own personality and life displayed in these pages. Gaillardet's reports of his travels were published in various French-language newspapers of the time; a few were incorporated into the author's posthumous memoirs. His opinions, as recorded in his writings, exerted undeniable influence in the French decision to recognize Texas; one of his theses was that the Republic of Texas might become a curb, rather than a stepping stone, to an expanding United States. Despite Gaillardet's historical importance, however, none of these chapters has ever appeared before in English translation. This collection was gathered from several sources: the Journal des Débats, the Constitutionnel, the Courrier des États-Unis, and Gaillardet's memoirs, entitled L'Aristocratie en Amérique. The latter chapters concentrate on the career of a prominent Louisiana lawyer, politician, and diplomat, Pierre Soulé, whose much maligned name Gaillardet repeatedly and stoutly defended. A less favorable treatment of Soulé, contained in Fanny Calderón de la Barca's Attaché in Madrid, is reprinted in the appendix to aid the reader in judging the accuracy of Gaillardet's analysis of this arresting figure. Copious footnotes to clarify the text have been added by the translator. His introduction presents a biographical sketch of Gaillardet, together with a careful analysis of the book, which has been translated lucidly and vividly.

Download or read book The Wild and Extravagant Projects of These French Fugitives written by Erwan Terrien and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 168 pages. 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.
