Book Review

Colonial Natchitoches: A Creole Community on the Louisiana-Texas Frontier. By H. Sophie Burton and F. Todd Smith. (College Station: Texas AM University Press, 2008. xvi, 216 pp. $39.95, ISBN 978-1-60344-018-9.)

This important volume blazes new historiographical ground by providing an in-depth community study of Natchitoches during the eighteenth century. It also significantly expands the fact base on this sometimes forgotten Louisiana colonial settlement, a town that nonetheless became important to both French and Spanish dominion in the lower Mississippi Valley during the century prior to the Louisiana Purchase. This book is based on the doctoral dissertation of H. Sophie Burton and has been enriched by F. Todd Smith, an expert on Native Americans in the late eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century Southeast.
