"THIS book comes in response to a long-felt wish
of an humble student of Louisiana history to
know more about the early actors in it, to go back
of the printed names in the pages of Gayarre and
Martin, and peep, if possible, into the personality
of the men who followed Bienville to found a city
upon the Mississippi, and who, remaining on the
spot, continued their good work by founding
families that have carried on their work and their
good names.
"It has been a pleasure to follow the traces they
impressed upon the soil two hundred years ago, and
to look through the vista of years that opened before
them when they crossed the seas, trusting their
names, their fortune, their faith to a new country.
"Their genealogical records bear witness to their
good blood; their '^maintenances de noblesse'' are
still in existence, brought with them from France,
in simple accord with what they considered a
family necessity, as much so as a house and furniture.
Traditions are still carrying a pale reflection of
coloring and wavering outline of them. Little
stories of them are still to be met hanging on a
withering memory like shriveled berries on a tree
that the next blast will rend from their twigs and
scatter on the ground.
Some of the little houses they built are still stand-
ing; vital statistics — their baptisms, marriages
and deaths — are still distinct in the old registers of
St. Louis Cathedral. Bits of old furniture, jewelry,
glass, old miniatures, portraits, scraps of silk and
brocade, flimsy fragments of lace can yet be picked
up scattered among the houses of the old streets
they trod."
