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.
