Description: Kashnor notes, "A very rare map, and a memorial to the beginning of the colonization of Louisiana. The grant to Antoine Crozat comprised all the lands discovered by La Salle in 1683, reaching from the mouth of the Mississippi to Illinois country, forming a great belt of the continent surrounding the English colonies from south to north. To Crozat is due the credit of having been the first to colonize the Mississippi valley. He put his whole life into the scheme, and as sole owner of the trade of the colony, he became the absolute ruler of a territory half as great as Europe. Duuring the time that he held the grant many explorations were carried through, including that be St. Denys, who made his famous journey to the Rio Grande, which resulted in the occupation of Texas by the Spaniards. In 1717 Crozat was compelled to resign his grant, and the great Mississippi scheme of John Law immediately the privileges with exclusive rights to the year 1742."
