Sobre este item
Amsterdam. Chez D.J. Changuion. 1769. 12mo, 15.7cm, in 2 volumes, xvi,[1],187 & [1],193,[iii]pp., (ads)., Wanting 2 of the 4 plates), 2 engraved plates (Palates 1 and 3 are present) with 2 half-titles, in contemporary boards, spine caps wanting, boards loose, internally clean and sound, as is (tr). Howes B-626)aa). Bossu arrived in New Orleans a few years after its founding, and only eighty years after La Salle came down the Mississippi. This collection of letters, revealing many vivid personal and secondhand recollections, give a fascinating portrait of life and travels in that vast area. The letters contain, among other descriptions, historical sketches of the Indian tribes in what is now the southern U.S. and the interior regions as far north as the Missouri River and Illinois. For comments, too critical of the ministry, Bossu was imprisoned and his book banned for awhile in France.
