Behind the familiar tale of the American frontier lies another, written in Spanish ink and royal decrees. In this major second volume of Louis Houck Missouri history, The Spanish Regime in Missouri gathers translated documents that reveal how Spain actually governed Upper Louisiana during the Spanish rule in Missouri. These lost voices speak again. Drawn from upper Louisiana archival records in the Archives of the Indies at Seville and from collections in Washington, the Spanish colonial documents collection traces land grants and settlements, petitions, official correspondence and legal disputes across the eighteenth century Missouri frontier and the early Upper Louisiana Spanish period, including papers concerning the much-debated grant linked with Col. George Morgan at the mouth of the Ohio. Meticulously translated into English, these Missouri history primary sources bring readers face to face with the realities of colonial administration in Louisiana and Spanish colonial North America: the negotiation of power, property, allegiance and everyday life along a contested borderland. Essential for researchers of Missouri history, genealogy and local history, it also rewards the curious reader who wants to see how history looked before it was smoothed into legend. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions. Restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure. Prepared with care for both serious students and classic-book collectors, this Alpha Editions reissue keeps a foundational documentary record in print.
