Synopsis
Excerpt from French Intrusions Into New Mexico, 1749-1752
Shortly afterward the Missouri post was destroyed by Indians, the Missouri valley was made unsafe for a number of years by the Fox wars, and French advance westward was checked. Although there are indications that in the interim traders kept pushing up the Missouri, the next well known attempt to reach New Mexico was made in 1739. In that year the Mallet party of eight or nine men left the Missouri River at the Arikara villages, went south to the Platte River, ascended that stream, and made their way through the Comanche country to Taos and to Santa Fé. After being detained several months in friendly captivity, six or seven of the party returned, unharmed by the Spanish authorities, and bearing evidence that the residents of New Mexico would welcome trade. Four of the party descended the Canadian and Arkan sas rivers, the others going northeast to the Illinois.

French Intrusions Into New Mexico, 1749-1752 (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the little-known history of French attempts to penetrate the Spanish border of Louisiana and New Mexico from 1749 to 1752. In the early 18th century, French explorers and traders eyed the potential wealth and strategic importance of New Mexico, leading to several expeditions into the region. The author meticulously examines these intrusions, drawing upon previously unexamined documents to shed light on the motives, routes, and consequences of these ventures. The book situates these incursions within the broader context of European imperial rivalry in North America and analyzes the intricate relationship between the French, Spanish, and Native American tribes in the region. By delving into the motivations behind the French intrusions and the Spanish response, the book offers valuable insights into the complex interplay of economic, political, and cultural factors that shaped the history of the American Southwest.
