View through CrossRef
This chapter describes the daily lives of a broad spectrum of early St. Louis denizens—from the most humble to the most well-to-do—by focusing on their material possessions based on Charles-Joseph Labuxière's inventory. It begins with a snapshot of the lifestyle of Jean Comparios, a longtime French marine who was deployed to Louisiana early during the French and Indian War and posted up the Mississippi to Fort de Chartres, and Marguerite, a black female slave. It then turns to the material things owned by Pierre-François Brunot D'Inglebert Lefebvre Desruisseau and his wife Marguerite La Ferne; Louis Deshêtres and the Deshêtres family; and Jean-Baptiste Hervieux. The chapter discusses marriages, illnesses, and deaths of early St. Louis denizens as well as their material possessions such as houses, clothing, furniture, and household furnishings.
