Reviews

"A monumental work of collaborative scholarship that demonstrates why French colonial Louisiana has become so vital to the study of early America. It broadens our understanding of Louisiana beyond the lower Mississippi valley and helps connect the various regions of the colony to each other and to American history overall."
