Beginning of an Article about Poste du Rapides 1797-8 thought I would share with your publication.
Detail from Jean Jacques Bellin [1703-1772] map from 1764, which shows the Riviere Rouge [Red River] at Rapides, this Map is labelled: "Suit du cours de fleuve St. Louis depuis la riviere d'Iberville jusqu'a celle des Yasous, et les parties connues de la Riviere Rouge et la Riviere Noire", which translates as: "Following the course of the Mississippi River, from the Rier d'Iberville up to that of the Yasous [Yazoo] and the known parts of the Red River and Black River."
The detail shows the Rapide, for which Rapides gets its name, Rapide was used into the 1830s though the use of Rapides begins in the 1790s, which is labelled "Le Grand Rapide qui a pieds de chute dans les basses et point dans les haute" or: "The Grand [or Great or Big] Rapid which has a 7 foot drop off in the Falls, in [times of] low water and not in times of high [water]"
This Map is found in the Library of Congress and in my opinion the best surviving map of what became Poste du Rapide. James Michael Hilton.
