⁂ Bossu, a French army officer, made two trips to Louisiana which he described in his first book Nouveaux Voyages aux Indes Occidentales, published in 1768. This scarcer title is an account of his third trip and was published with the imprint of Amsterdam as he had previously got into trouble with the authorities after criticising the governor of New Orleans.
