His adventures over the next 18 years, as recorded in his 1747 memoir, underscore the complexity of the expanding French Atlantic world, offering a singular perspective on early colonialism in Louisiana. His life story also provides detailed descriptions and illustrations of the peoples and environment of the lower Mississippi valley. Dumont emerges here as an important colonial voice and brings the French vividly to life.Published for the Omohundro Institute of Early American History and Culture, Williamsburg, VirginiaFrenchNorth AmericaHistoryFranceColoniesAmericaHistoryNorth AmericaHistoryColonial period, ca. 1600-1775FrenchHistory.973.2Dumont de Montigny1632467Sayre Gordon M(Gordon Mitchell),1964-Zecher Carla1959-Omohundro Institute of Early American History & Culture.MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910819092003321The memoir of lieutenant Dumont, 1715-17473971627UNINA
