Book Overview

Travels Through That Part Of North America Formerly Called Louisiana V2 is a historical book written by John-Bernard Bossu in 1771. The book is a detailed account of Bossu's travels through Louisiana, which was a French colony in North America at the time. The book is illustrated with notes relative chiefly to natural history, and it provides a fascinating insight into the flora and fauna of the region.

The book also contains descriptions of the different Native American tribes that Bossu encountered during his travels, as well as their customs and way of life. Overall, this book is an important historical document that provides a unique perspective on the early exploration of North America.to which is added by the translator a systematic catalogue of all the known plants of english north america or a flora americae septentrionalis, together with an abstract of the most useful and necessary articles contained in peter loefling�������s travels through spain and cumana in south america.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
