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. 410 0$aPublished for the Omohundro Institute of Early American History and Culture, Williamsburg, Virginia 606 $aFrench$zNorth America$xHistory 607 $aFrance$xColonies$zAmerica$xHistory 607 $aNorth America$xHistory$yColonial period, ca. 1600-1775 615 0$aFrench$xHistory. 676 $a973.2 700 $aDumont de Montigny$01632467 702 $aSayre$b Gordon M$g(Gordon Mitchell),$f1964- 702 $aZecher$b Carla$f1959- 712 02$aOmohundro Institute of Early American History & Culture. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910819092003321 996 $aThe memoir of lieutenant Dumont, 1715-1747$93971627 997 $aUNINA
