On the 16th September the ship le Profond arrived in the Louisiana colony with two hundred and forty French citizens on board, ready to help establish and populate the lower Mississippi River valley. Le Profond was one of forty-three ships of the "Company of the West" which were designated for Louisiana as part of a massive recruitment effort to populate the new vast French colony which stretched from the Gulf of Mexico to Canada. Most of the passengers on board the Le Profond were engag?s who had signed contracts to work the lands to establish plantations. A group of soldiers were also on board. Some of these soldiers later returned to France, but some remained and established families, such as Antoine La Roche Bonvillain.The ship which reached Ship Island at Biloxi from La Rochelle with men, women, teens, and few servants.

It was the westernmost section of a land that was known for nearly half a century (1763-1810) as "West Florida" and over It flags of two European kingdoms flew, the Union Jack of England for 16 years, and the banner of Spain for 31 years. On the soil of this fruitful southern land was enacted one of the most spectacular events In Louisiana's colorful history, For the space of 74 days this part of the present state was a. free and Independent nation, with Its own governing officials, Its own army, Its own navy, lts own flag, Its own declaration of Independence.

The significance of food and feasting to Pre-Columbian Mesoamerican cultures has been extensively studied by archaeologists, anthropologists and art historians. Foodways studies have been critical to our understanding of early agriculture, political economies, and the domestication and management of plants and animals. Scholars from diverse fields have explored the symbolic complexity of food and its preparation, as well as the social importance of feasting in contemporary and historical societies. This book unites these disciplinary perspectives — from the social and biological sciences to art history and epigraphy — creating a work comprehensive in scope, which reveals our increasing understanding of the various roles of foods and cuisines in Mesoamerican cultures. The volume is organized thematically into three sections. Part 1 gives an overview of food and feasting practices as well as ancient economies in Mesoamerica. Part 2 details ethnographic, epigraphic and isotopic evidence of these practices. Finally, Part 3 presents the metaphoric value of food in Mesoamerican symbolism, ritual, and mythology. The resulting volume provides a thorough, interdisciplinary resource for understanding, food, feasting, and cultural practices in Mesoamerica.
All New Orleans' glories, tragedies, contributions, and complexities can be traced back to the geographical dilemma Bienville confronted in 1718 when selecting the primary location of New Orleans. "Bienville's Dilemma" presents sixty-eight articles on the historical geography of New Orleans, covering the formation and foundation of the city, its urbanization and population, its "humanization" into a place of distinction, the manipulation of its environment, its devastation by Hurricane Katrina, and its ongoing recovery.
