Received a email from a new author who has just published his first historical novel about the ancestor Mathieu Rouillard and Jeanne Guillet who left countless descendants throughout North America under the name Pronovost (various spellings) and Saint-Cyr. He was a fur trader who died in 1702 during a trading expedition in the Mississippi delta. He would be the first European to be buried in the State of Louisiana, 20 years before the founding of New Orleans. The book first published in French under the title "Feu et Lieu" is now available in English. <click here for a title page> The cost is $25 for the book plus $10 regular mail or $12 for air mail.
Payment can be by check in US $ or a money order in Canadian funds. |
