Book excerpt: Three centuries after the French explorer La Salle was murdered in the Texas wilds, this volume presents translations of three obscure documents that broaden the view of the man and his exploits. The first non-Spanish effort to settle areas along the Gulf of Mexico is seen from the perspectives of La Salle's engineer; a Spanish pilot who searched for the French colony; and two French lads who, orphaned as a result of the Fort Saint-Louis massacre, lived first among the Texas Indians, then the Spaniards.

Download or read book Materials concerning La Salle s attempt in 1684 to establish a colony in Louisiana at the mouth of the Mississippi including a travel report by Jean Cavelier and two letters to the duque de Jovenazo from Baron de Lahontan in Lisbon written by Louis Armand de Lom d'Arce baron de Lahontan and published by . This book was released on 1699 with total page 46 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Photostatic copy, probably from around 1924, of an account by Jean Cavelier, brother of Robert Cavelier de La Salle, of the disastrous expedition to establish a French colony in Louisiana at the mouth of the Mississippi River between 1684 and 1688, and two related letters, dated Sept. 1 and Sept. 7, 1699, to the duque de Jovenazo from the baron de Lahontan in Lisbon. The account, written long after the fact, but given a day-by-day journal character by the use of marginal dates, was originally intended for the marquis de Seignelay, French minister of state. The expedition left La Rochelle, in July 1684, and from the beginning, was plagued with disasters--bad weather, illness, and insubordination by the naval commander Beaujeu. The loss of the main supply ship, and La Salle's illness in the West Indies threw the expedition into disarray. Continuing on with 180 men, La Salle missed the mouth of the Mississippi and ended up in what is now Matagorda Bay, Texas. The ill-fated expedition tried twice to reach Canada, and during the second attempt, in Jan. 1687, La Salle was assassinated by one of his own men. Cavelier did reach Montreal in June 1688, and sailed home to France in Aug. 1688. Along with his copy of Cavelier's journal, Lahontan sends two letters which he wrote to the duke of Jovenazo, dated Sept. 1 and Sept. 9, 1699, in Lisbon, discussing Spanish concerns about French claims to territory in the Gulf of Mexico. A cover letter, dated Jan. 31, 1700, informs the marqués del Carpio that copies are being sent to the Consejo de Indias.

Download or read book Historical Dictionary of Colonial America written by William Pencak and published by Scarecrow Press. This book was released on 2011-07-15 with total page 493 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The years between 1450 and 1550 marked the end of one era in world history and the beginning of another. Most importantly, the focus of global commerce and power shifted from the Mediterranean Sea to the Atlantic Ocean, largely because of the discovery ofthe New World.

It opened the way for new human possibilities, possibilities that were first fulfilled by the British colonies of North America, nearly 100 years after Columbus landed in the Bahamas. TheHistorical Dictionary of Colonial America covers America's history from the first settlements to the end and immediate aftermath of the French and Indian War. This is done through a chronology, an introductory essay, appendixes, an extensive bibliography, and over 400 cross-referenced dictionary entries on the various colonies, which were founded and how they became those which declared independence. Religious, political, economic, and family life; important people; warfare; and relations between British, French, Spanish, and Dutch colonies are also among the topics covered. This book is an excellent access point for students, researchers, and anyone wanting to know more about Colonial America.
