In this new, annotated translation of one of the key texts of eighteenth-century French America, Micah True offers the first complete and reliable English edition of Pierre-François-Xavier de Charlevoix’s richly detailed account of his voyage through colonial French America.
The French Jesuit Pierre-François-Xavier de Charlevoix’s 1744 journal of his voyage through French North America—New France, Louisiana, and the Caribbean—is among the richest eighteenth-century accounts of the continent’s colonization, as well as its indigenous inhabitants, flora, and fauna. Micah True’s new translation of this influential text is the first to appear since 1763. It provides the first complete and reliable English version of Charlevoix’s journal and reveals the famous Jesuit to have been a better literary stylist than has often been assumed on the basis of earlier translations. Complemented by a detailed introduction and richly annotated, this volume finally makes accessible to an Anglophone audience one of the key texts of eighteenth-century French America.

Micah True, PhD (Duke University, 2009) is associate professor of French and folklore at the University of Alberta. His numerous publications on early French America most notably include Masters and Students: Jesuit Mission Ethnography in Seventeenth-Century New France (McGill-Queen’s University Press, 2015).
