Stoddard, _Sketches of Louisiana_ (New York, 1811), among those just following the establishment of American dominion. The _Histoire de la Louisiane, et de la cession de colonie par la France aux États-Unis_ (Paris, 1829; in English, Philadelphia, 1830) by Barbé-Marbois has great importance in diplomatic history. The rarest and most valuable of early memoirs and much archive material are embodied in Benj. F. French's _Historical Collections of Louisiana_ (5 series, N.Y., 1846-1853) and _Historical Collections of Louisiana and Florida_, New Series (N.Y., 1869, 1875). Documentary materials on the greater "Louisiana" between the Gulf of Mexico and Canada will be found in the _Jesuit Relations_, edited by R. G. Thwaites (Cleveland, 1896 ff.); and on early voyages in Pierre Margry, _Découvertes et établissements des Français_ (6 vols., Paris, 1879-1888). John G. Shea published an edition of Louis Hennepin's _Description of Louisiana ... Translated from the Edition of 1683_, &c. (New York, 1880). On this greater "Louisiana" the student should also, consult the works of Francis Parkman. And see publications of the Louisiana Historical Society (New Orleans). Of brief general histories there is that of J. R. Ficklen above cited, another by the same author in collaboration with Grace King (New Orleans, 1902) and another (more valuable) by Albert Phelps (Boston, 1905), in the American Commonwealth Series. For the Reconstruction period see bibliography under UNITED STATES.
