1850 Louisiana History + Florida de Soto Expedition
1850 Louisiana History + Florida de Soto Expedition French Mississippi MAP
‘Historical Collections of Louisiana’ is a rare, important work on the history of the American south. Written by historian B.F. French, this work features analyses of French language documents from Paris relating to the discovery of Louisiana, descriptions of English provinces, and Spanish and French settlements in Florida. However, the most impressive part of this work is a description of the discovery and exploration of the Mississippi Valley, and the description of the Hernando de Soto conquest of Florida, his journal of the expedition, and a narrative of his voyage.
This stand-alone tome features a large folding map which is lacking from most examples.
