About The Book:
In 1719 La Mutine sailed from France in the cold of January to what would later be known as New Orleans.
The women on board were labeled as prostitutes, thieves, and beggars. Unjustly rounded up by the French police, amidst quick mock trials, were banished to the “islands.” Unlike the women of the Mayflower, these women came against their will, and had only their wits to rely on.
For 12 weeks they traveled in chains aboard La Mutine , and when they set foot on the land that was to become their new home, were met with a wild, untamed wilderness where they endured weeks abandoned on a desert island, famine, hurricanes, disease and ever changing governmental rule.
These women that France cavalierly disposed of, against all odds not only survived, but became successful business women, wealthy landowners, and matriarchs of large prosperous families.
This is the story of the “Gulf Coasts” long forgotten founding mothers.
