This supplementary French-language reader provides teachers and
students with authentic historical documents describing the French
exploration and settlement of the lower Mississippi Valley in the
seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. More than a hundred
selections of varying lengths and in a range of difficulty from
intermediate to advanced provide lively subject matter, including
French and Indian diplomacy and wars, the earliest appearance of
Africans in the Mississippi Valley, and some of the first European
observations of the natural history of the region. Each selection
includes an English introduction, marginal vocabulary, and French
study questions. The book is generously illustrated with
contemporary engravings and woodcuts. Developed with the advice of
classroom teachers from secondary schools and colleges, Rencontres
sur le Mississipi, 1682-1763 offers the creative teacher an
opportunity to anchor the language-learning experience in
historical texts to the natural environment and geography already
familiar to students.
