Note 13 — Chapter I

[Parkman (Montcalm and Wolfe, vol. i. chap. ii.) tells the story of this expedition under Céloron de Bienville, sent by La Galissonière in 1749 into the Ohio Valley to propitiate the Indians and expel the English traders, and of its ill success. He refers, as chief sources, to the Journal of Céloron, preserved in the Archives de la Marine, and to the Journal of Bonnecamp, his chaplain, found in the Dépôt de la Marine at Paris, and to the contemporary documents printed in the Colonial Documents of New York, in the Colonial Records, and in the Archives (second series, vol. vi.) of Pennsylvania.—Ed.]
