Natchitoches, 1729-1803: Abstracts of the Catholic Church Registers of the French and Spanish Post of St. Jean Baptiste des Natchitoches in Louisiana (Cane River Creole Series)

For four decades, NATCHITOCHES, 1729–1803 has been an essential reference work for all who study the Louisiana-Texas frontier and seek to identify its original settlers. Within its pages, one find transplants from at least two dozen nations of Europe and Africa; migrants from the Anglo-American colonies, Canada, Mexico, and the Caribbean; and Native-Americans of a dozen tribes, both free and enslaved. This 2016 digital edition reproduces the classic volume, with a new appendix offering more than 100 additions and amendments made by the original translator in the course of her subsequent research.
