| Governor Etienne
Perier organizes an expedition against Natchez Indians near Vacherie
at Bayougoula village. The vagaries of governor Perier s administration
have led to the Natchez Massacre of 1729, and this will necessitate Bienville s
return. Bienville will continue to be governor until 1743 when he returns
to France, weary of constant disputes with his enemies. He will live until
1767. |
