Introduction
Introduction
The introduction situates the protagonists of the correspondence, Jean Boze and Henri de Sainte-Gême, within the nineteenth-century Atlantic world and presents the correspondence. It also contextualizes New Orleans in the young American Republic, introducing the main purpose of the book, which is--instead of a comprehensive history of early American New Orleans--to reproduce a very personal description of what Jean Boze, with his past, origins, education, and experience, saw unfold before his eyes. The introduction also sets the main dialectics of the book, that of continuity and change, and its ultimate purpose: to understand how, through rich and complex processes, New Orleans became the Creole capital of the United States.
Keywords: New Orleans, nineteenth century, Atlantic World, Jean Boze, Henri de Sainte-Gême, Young American Republic
