The work has been attributed to either Wante or G. Boucher de la Richardiere. "The author - whoever he was - travelled extensively throughout the lower Mississippi Valley" Howes. "There is also much on the Illinois-Ohio country but the body of the work has to do with the Louisiana Cession" Eberstadt. Incomplete but quite rare as Howes accorded it a "b" rating. The great Simon Shwartz library of Louisiana material had a copy sold for $15 in 1926 in blue morocco with an inked name on the titlepage. This is perhaps an additional Shwartz copy not auctioned at the time.
