Dr. Ekberg's masterwork on the old French town south of St. Louis brings into sharp focus life in colonial America. ""Ekberg has rendered a rich portrait of community life on the most fascinating of American frontiers, the composite world of French Creoles and American Indians in the Mississippi Valley. This is an important book and a good read to boot."" That's how Yale University's John Mack Faragher praised this book.
