Colonials : Soldiers and Vagabonds
by Winston De Ville
For this companion volume to Gulf Coast Colonials, Mr. De Ville has
transcribed seven ships' passenger lists for vessels that embarked from
ports in France for French Louisiana in the years 1719 and 1720. The subtitle
of the work refers to the fact that the settlement of Louisiana, including
the ranks of the army itself, was augmented by the importation of criminals,
smugglers, debtors, and vagabonds. Thus, while any number of Louisiana
soldiers and vagabonds eventually took brides and became farmers, lifting
themselves into the ranks of respectable and propertied, their beginnings
were invariably much humbler.
"The compiler has transcribed the names on each list in precisely the
same order as they appear in the original, adding an index of personal
names for the researcher's ease of use. Typically, the lists are careful
to differentiate between members of the crew and soldiers on the one hand
and the various prisoners, deserters, smugglers, and vagabonds on the other.
Regardless of the passenger's status, he is typically identified by name,
age, height, color of hair, occupation, and city of origin. All told, this
work provides the names of more than 500 18th-century immigrants to Louisiana,
whose origins in France are further clarified by the index to places at
the end of the book.
Louisiana
Troops 1720-1770
by Winston De Ville
This basic reference work on the French in the Mississippi Valley lists
over 2,000 names with brief service records. Compiled and translated from
official sources housed at the Library of Congress, it lists first the
enlisted men and then the officers who served France in Louisiana, Mississippi,
Arkansas, Alabama, and in the Illinois Country during the 18th century.
The two lists typically give the individual's date of discharge, death,
or desertion and, in the case of officers, his rank and place of service.
On occasion we are also treated to other personal details such as names
of family members, date returned to France, rate of pay, etc.
