Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - The standard story of St. Louis's founding tells of fur traders Pierre Laclède and Auguste Chouteau hacking a city out of wilderness. St. Louis Rising overturns such gauzy myths with the contrarian thesis that French government officials and institutions shaped and structured early city society. Of the former, none did more than Louis St. Ange de Bellerive. His commitment to the Bourbon monarchy and to civil tranquility made him the prime mover as St. Louis emerged during the tumult following the French and Indian War.

Their alternative version of the oft-told tale uncovers the imperial realities--as personified by St. Ange--that truly governed in the Illinois Country of the time, and provide a trove of new information on everything from the fur trade to the arrival of the British and Spanish after the Seven Years' War.…

Signed in thin black felt pen at the bottom of the title page by the each author and dated ("April 30, 2015") by her beneath their signatures; done in my presence at Saint Louis County (Missouri) Library headquarters on April 30, 2015, after a 7 PM talk based on this book and a question & answer session that had a number of challenging--even angry--questions; apparently, genealogists in the audience were not pleased with the authors' assertions that Chouteau & Laclede were not important (and certainly not 'founders') in early Saint Louis history.
