First edition of the "Historic Memoirs of Louisiana" important and early history of Louisiana, considered the first reliable account of the state, with much information on the Indians. The number of plates vary, this copy has more than others, that makes it extremely scarce. With five fort maps, one of the fort at New Orleans, and four fruit tree plates, and the fine folding map "Carte de la Louisiane" (by Chambon), that shows the French territories prior to the French and Indian War, many forts (e.g. Illinois, Natchez, Fort St. Pierre Yazoo, Fort Rosalie, S. Francois, Mobile, Fort des Alibamons, Pensacole) and early settlements (e.g. New Orleans, Baton Rouge, Biloxi, Paskagoula).
The first volume describes the natural history of Louisiana, its climate, natural products, flora and fauna, and the customs, origins and religion of the indigenous Indians. The second volume concerns with the history of the state from 1687, the establishment of the French in the province, until 1740, the death of Robert de La Salle who named the territory of the Mississippi basin "La Louisiane" in honour of Louis XIV and claimed it for France.
Some authorities erroneously attributed the book to Georges-Marie Butel-Dumont (1725-1788). It was actually edited by Abbé Jean Baptiste de Mascrier (1697-1760), loosely based on the manuscripts that Jean-François Benjamin Dumont de Montigny (1696-1760), a colonial engineering officer and farmer in French Louisiana, had written about his experiences in Louisiana.
