A gateway to the West and an outpost for eastern capital and
culture, St. Louis straddled not only geographical and political
divides but also cultural, racial, and sectional ones. At the same
time, it connected a vast region as a gathering place of peoples,
cultures, and goods. The essays in this collection contextualize
St. Louis, exploring French-Native relations, the agency of empire
in the Illinois Country, the role of women in "mapping" the French
colonial world, fashion and identity, and commodities and exchange
in St. Louis as part of a broader politics of consumption in
colonial America. The collection also provides a comparative
perspective on America's two great Creole cities, St. Louis and New
Orleans. Lastly, it looks at the Frenchness of St. Louis in the
nineteenth century and the present. French St. Louis recasts the
history of St. Louis and reimagines regional development in the
early American republic, shedding light on its francophone history.
