- annotates
- Swanton's reading and translation of a colonial French document "Relation de La Louisianne." There is not a lot that isn't included in later publications, although if this is a true translation (albeit with Swanton's grammatical corrections and footnotes) it is interesting to read. There is a relatively extensive discussion here on the annual visits to Mobile for the annual rent of occupying Chahta land.
