LOUISIANA COLONIALS: Soldiers and Vagabonds
Mr. De Ville has transcribed seven ships passenger lists for vessels that embarked from ports in France for French Louisiana in the years 1719 and 1720. The subtitle of the work refers to the fact that the settlement of Louisiana, including the ranks of the army itself, was augmented by the importation of criminals, smugglers, debtors, and vagabonds. Each of the roughly 500 passengers (soldiers, prisoners, vagabonds, etc.), regardless of his status, is typically identified by name, age, height, color of hair, occupation, and city of origin. - United States - Louisiana -
 
LOUISIANA TROOPS 1720-1770
This basic reference work on the French in the Mississippi Valley lists over 2,000 names with brief service records. The book lists first the enlisted men and then the officers who served France in Louisiana, Mississippi, Arkansas, Alabama, and in the Illinois Country during the 18th century. The two lists typically give the individuals date of discharge, death, or desertion and, in the case of officers, his rank and place of service. - United States - Louisiana Military -
