He refers, as chief sources, to the Journal of Céloron, preserved in the Archives de la Marine, and to the Journal of Bonnecamp, his chaplain, found in the Dépôt de la Marine at Paris, and to the contemporary documents printed in the _Colonial Documents of New York_, in the _Colonial Records_, and in the _Archives_ (second series, vol. vi.) of Pennsylvania.—ED.]
[14] [There is some confusion in the spelling of this name. A hundred years ago and more, the usual spelling was _Allegany_. The mountains are now called _Alleghany_; the city of the same name in Pennsylvania is spelled _Allegheny_. Cf. note in _Dinwiddie Papers_, i. 255.—ED.]
[15] [_Mémoire sur les colonies de la France dans l’Amérique septentrionale._—ED.]
[16] [Céloron’s expedition was followed, in 1750, by the visit of Christopher Gist, who was sent, under the direction of this newly formed Ohio Company, to prepare the way for planting English colonists in the disputed territory. The instructions to Gist are in the appendix of Pownall’s _Topographical Description of North America_. He fell in with George Croghan, one of the Pennsylvania Scotch-Irish, then exploring the country for the Governor of Pennsylvania; and Croghan was accompanied by Andrew Montour, a half-breed interpreter. The original authorities for their journey are in the _New York Colonial Documents_, vol. vii., and in the _Colonial Records of Pennsylvania_, vol. v.; while the Journals of Gist and Croghan may be found respectively in Pownall (_ut supra_) and in the periodical _Olden Time_, vol. i. Cf. also _Dinwiddie Papers_, index. In the _Pennsylvania Archives_, second series, vol. vi., are various French and English documents touching the French occupation of this region.—ED.]
[17] Prior to this time there had been such an occupation of some of these posts as to find recognition in the maps of the day. See map entitled “_Amérique septentrionale_, etc., par le S^r. D’Anville, 1746,” which gives a post at or near Erie, and one on the “Rivière aux Beuf” (French Creek).

[21] [See the section on La Salle in Vol. IV. p. 201.—ED.]
[22] Margry, iv. 3.
[23] In 1697 the Sieur de Louvigny wrote, asking to complete La Salle’s discoveries and invade Mexico from Texas (Lettre de M. de Louvigny, 14 Oct. 1697). In an unpublished memoir of the year 1700, the seizure of the Mexican mines is given as one of the motives of the colonization of Louisiana. Parkman’s _La Salle and the Discovery of the Great West_, p. 327, _note_. The memorial of Louvigny is given in Margry, iv. 9; that of Argoud in Margry, iv. 19.
[24] Daniel’s _Nos gloires_, p. 39; he was baptized at Montreal, July 20, 1661. (Tanguay’s _Dictionnaire généalogique_.)
[25] [See Vol. IV. pp. 161, 226, 239, 243, 316.—ED.]
[26] The Minister in a letter alludes to the reports of Argoud from London, August 21, about a delay in starting (Margry, iv. 82).
[27] Charlevoix says the expedition was composed of the “François” and “Renommée,” and sailed October 17. According to Penicaut the vessels were the “Marin” and “Renommée.” The _Journal historique_ states that they sailed from Rochefort September 24. This work is generally accurate. Perhaps there was some authority for that date. The vessels had come down from Rochefort to the anchorage at Rochelle some time before this, and the date may represent the time of sailing from Rochelle. Margry (iv. 213) in a syllabus of the contents of the Journal of Marin, which he evidently regarded as a part of the original document, gives the date of that event as September 5. In the same volume (p. 84) there is a despatch from the Minister to Du Guay, dated October (?) 16, in which he says that “he awaits with impatience the news of Iberville’s sailing, and fears that he may be detained at Rochelle by the equinoctial storms.”
[28] The French accounts all say that Pensacola had been occupied by the Spaniards but a few months, and simply to anticipate Iberville. Barcia in his _Ensayo cronológico_ (p. 316) says it was founded in 1696.
[29] Report in Margry, iv. 118, and Journal in Ibid., iv. 157. A third account of the Journal of the “Marin” says there were twenty-two in one _biscayenne_, twenty-three in the other; fifty-one men in all (Journal in Margry, iv. 242). The six men in excess in the total are probably to be accounted for as the force in the canoes. These discrepancies illustrate the confusion in the accounts.
[30] Despatch of the Minister, July 23, 1698, in Margry, iv. 72; Iberville’s Report, in Margry, iv. 120
[31] [See Hennepin’s maps in Vol IV. pp. 251, 253.—ED.]
[32] Margry, iv. 190.
[33] The date of this letter is given in the Journal “1686” (Margry, iv. 274). This is probably correct. [See Vol. IV. p. 238.—ED.].
[34] Ten guns, says the Journal, in Margry, iv. 395. One of twenty-four, one of twelve guns; the latter alone entered the river, says Iberville to the Minister, February 26, 1700, in Margry, vol. iv. p. 361. See also Coxe’s _Carolana_, preface.
[35] [See _post_, chap. v.—ED.]
[36] Journal, in Margry, iv. 397.

[38] Minister to Iberville, June 15, 1699, in Margry, iv. 305; Same to same, July 29, 1699, in Ibid., iv. 324; Same to same, Aug. 5, 1699, in Ibid., iv. 327.
[39] [See Vol. IV. p. 239.—ED.]
[40] _Journal historique_, etc., pp. 30, 34.
[41] The language used in the text is fully justified by the accounts referred to. Students of Indian habits dispute the despotism of the Suns, and allege that the hereditary aristocracy does not differ materially from what may be found in other tribes. See Lucien Carr’s paper on “The Mounds of the Mississippi Valley historically considered,” extracted from _Memoirs of the Kentucky Geological Survey_, ii. 36, _note_. See also his “The Social and Political Position of Woman among the Huron Iroquois Tribes,” in the _Report of Peabody Museum_, iii. 207, _et seq_.
[42] Pontchartrain to Callières and Champigny, June 4, 1701, in Margry, v. 351. Charlevoix speaks of Saint-Denys, who made the trip to Mexico, as Juchereau de Saint-Denys. Dr. Shea, in the _note_, p. 12, vol. vi. of his _Charlevoix_, identifies Saint-Denys as Louis Juchereau de Saint-Denys. The founder of the settlement on the “Ouabache” signed the same name to the Memorial in Margry, v. 350. The author of _Nos gloires nationales_ asserts (vol. i. p. 207 of his work) that it was Barbe Juchereau who was sent to Mexico. Spanish accounts speak of the one in Mexico as Louis. Charlevoix says he was the uncle of Iberville’s wife. Iberville married Marie-Thérèse Pollet, granddaughter of Nicolas Juchereau, Seigneur of Beauport and St. Denis (see Tanguay). This Nicolas Juchereau had a son Louis, who was born Sept. 18, 1676. Martin says the two Juchereaus were relatives.
[43] The establishment was apparently made on the Ouabache (Ohio), _Journal historique_, etc., pp. 75-89. Iberville, writing at Rochelle, Feb. 15, 1703, says “he will go to the ‘Ouabache,’” in letter of Iberville to Minister (Margry, iv. 631). Penicaut speaks of it as on the Ouabache (Margry, v. 426-438).
[44] _Journal historique_, etc., p. 106. Charlevoix (vol. ii. liv. xxi. p. 415) says: “It could not be said that there was a colony in Louisiana—or at any rate it did not begin to shape itself—until after the arrival of M. Diron d’Artaguette with an appointment as _commissaire-ordonnateur_.”
[45] _Journal historique_, etc., p. 129, and Le Page du Pratz, i. 15, 16. Saint-Denys was evidently duped by the Spaniards. Crozat was anxious for trade. Saint-Denys arranged matters with the authorities at Mexico, and joined in the expedition which established Spanish missions in the “province of Lastekas.” In these missions he saw only hopes of trade; but the title to the province was saved to Spain by them, and no trade was ever permitted.
[46] The following itinerary of this expedition is copied, through the favor of Mr. Theodore F. Dwight, from a rough memorandum in the handwriting of Thomas Jefferson,—which memorandum is now in the Department of State at Washington.
“Oct. 25. Graveline and the other arrived at Rio Bravos at Ayeches, composed of 10 cabbins, they found a Span. Mission of 2 Peres Recollets, 3 souldiers and a woman; at Nacodoches they found 4 Recollets, with a Frere, 2 souldiers and a Span. woman; at Assinays or Cenis 2 Peres Recollets, 1 souldier, 1 Span. woman. The presidio which had been 17 leagues further off now came and established itself at 7 leagues from the Assinayes; it was composed of a Capt^n, ensign and 25 souldiers. They reached the presidio 2 leagues W. of the Rio Bravo where there was a Capt. Lieut. and 30 souldiers Span. and 2 missions of St. Jean Baptiste and St. Bernard. All the goods of St. Denys were seized and in the end lost. On the return of Graveline and the others they found a Span. Mission at Adayes, founded Jan. 29, 1717.”
[47] The livre is substantially the same as the franc, and by some writers the words are used interchangeably.
[48] There were outstanding, when the bank collapsed, notes of the nominal value of 1,169,072,540 livres. Statements of the amounts in hand, of those which had been burned, etc., showed that there had been emitted more than 3,000,000,000 livres (Forbonnais, ii. 633).
[49] This is exclusive of an issue of 24,000 shares by the Regent. The par value of the 600,000 shares was 300,000,000 livres; but the value represented by them on the basis of the premiums at which they were respectively issued, amounted to 1,677,500,000 livres.
[50] Forbonnais, _Recherches et considérations sur les finances de France_, ii. 604, says shares rose as high as eighteen to twenty thousand francs.
[51] The commanders of the post in the early days of the colony have been generally spoken of as governors. Gayarré (i. 162) says, “The government of Louisiana was for the second time definitely awarded to Bienville.” He was, as we have seen, _lieutenant du roy_. As such he was at the head of the colony for many years, and he still held this title when he was by letter ordered to assume command after La Mothe left and until L’Epinay should arrive (Margry, v. 591). In 1716 he was “commandant of the Mississippi River and its tributaries” (_Journal historique_, etc., pp. 123, 141). His power as _commandant-général_ was apparently for a time shared with his brother Sérigny. In a despatch dated Oct. 20, 1719, quoted by Gayarré, he says, “Mon frère Sérigny, chargé comme moi du commandement de cette colonie.” M. de Vallette Laudun, in the _Journal d’un voyage_ (Paris, 1768), on the 1st of July, 1720, says, M. de Bienville “commands in chief all the country since the departure of his brother, Monsieur de Sérigny.” In 1722 Bienville applied for the “general government” (Margry, v. 634).
[52] Margry, v. 589; Shea’s _Charlevoix_, vi. 37.
[53] Vergennes, p. 161. “The inhabitants trembled at the sight of this licentious soldiery.”
[54] The Penicaut narrative apparently assigns the year 1717 as the date of the original foundation of New Orleans. Margry (v. 549) calls attention in a note to the fact that the _Journal historique_, which he attributes to Beaurain, gives 1718 as the date. Gravier, in his Introduction to the _Relation du voyage des dames religieuses Ursulines_, says that New Orleans was founded in 1717. He cites in a note certain letters of Bienville which are in the Archives at Paris; but as he does not quote from them, we cannot tell to what point of the narrative they are cited as authority.

The map shows Pensacola as destroyed in 1719, and the new town on Santa Rosa Island.—ED.]
