Francois Valle and His World: Upper Louisiana Before Lewis and Clark
This is a great book about the early Mississippi River Valley. I enjoyed it so much that if I ever obtain a time machine, I am going to set it for 1750 Ste. Genevieve, MO., because I have to see, experience, and taste what this book describes.
