Voyage to Louisiana

C. C. Robin came to America in 1803 and wrote a three-volume description of his travels in the West Indies, Pensacola, and Louisiana. The author of this unusual book was a scientist and writer of note, but his remarkable memoir was originally published only in French. With this translation, English readers can discover for themselves the land and the people that captivated Robin centuries ago.Voyage to Louisiana recounts Robin's adventures in Pensacola, New Orleans, and the Attakapas and Ouachita country. He vividly describes the distinctive lifestyle and customs of the Louisiana Acadians and the New Orleans Creoles and provides a rare, tantalizing glimpse into the history of colonial Louisiana.
