THE
VOYAGEUR IN THE
THE FUR TRADE’S PROFESSIONAL
By Margaret K. Brown, Ph.D.
This story of the Illinois
Country voyageur is gleaned largely from an assemblage of some 7000 unsorted
and mostly unpublished French documents and records known collectively as the
Kaskaskia Manuscripts. Few people are as familiar with this collection as Dr.
Brown, who has worked with this and other caches of French Illinois records for
years.
The Voyageur in the Illinois
Country expands our knowledge of other aspects of life in the French Midwest
beyond the fur trade: inventories of household goods, watercraft in use locally
(not the romantic birch bark canoe, incidentally). We also learn that
French/Indian relations were not always as cordial as popular history often
paints them to have been. (38 pages, maps,
illustrations.)

Code Noir. The
Colonial Slave Laws of French Mid-America, the new CFCS extended publication has just been published. Edited
by William Potter, it features an introductory article by Carl Ekberg, the
complete French text of the Code Noir de la Louisiane of 1724 and an
English translation on opposite pages as well as facsimiles of a number of related
documents from the Kaskaskia Manuscript collection with English translation. (67 pages, illustrations.)
“Vernon V. Palmer, an
authority on legal history, has recently opined that the Black Code ‘was one of
the most important codes in the history of French codes.’ Given French preoccupation with codifying
laws—under the monarchy, the empire, and the various republics—this is a very
large statement. Credit must be given
to the Center for French Colonial Studies for sponsoring the publication of
this welcome new translation of the Code.”( From the Introduction by
Carl Ekberg. )
