Description
1782 VOYAGES 1ed Pages Mexico TEXAS America Louisiana INDIANS China Japan Pirates



A rare 18th-century printing of French naval officer Pierre Francois Pagess “Voyages autour du monde”. This work is a lesser-known voyages survey; however, it is no less interesting and desirable. Pages world voyage memoir describes

Experiences in Guam and the Philippines

interactions with Islamic corsairs in Manilla

Chinese and Japanese populations

Voyages through the Mediterranean Sea, fortifications

Greek Islands, Rhodes, Malta

Malabar Pirates

Arabic Bedouins and caravans



While these voyage locations are desirable, they are not the driving force of this books popularity. This work is best known for describing Pages horseback journey across the American south including Mississippi River travel into Texas to the Rio Grande River and Mexico. It describes his arrival into New Orleans, relations with Native American Indian tribes in Louisiana, early descriptions of Mexican cities such as San Luis Potosi and the Mexican influence in San Antonio, Texas.
