Book Description
Excerpt from The History of Education in Louisiana The English had also set their eyes on the Mississippi, and later in the same year, Bienville, the other brother of d'iberville, met an English captain, Barr, in the river with his fleet. He told Barr that the river he was in was not the Mississippi, and succeeded in dis patching him farther to the west. The bend of the river from which Barr turned back is known to this day as the English Turn. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
