Mississippi In 1713-1717 Be.
Ionged to Rich French
Merchant
By international News Service

BILOXI, Miss, Oct 29.-Missis-
sippi once came within an ace of
being a separate country with a.
ruler of its own. This forgotten
fact was brought to light by local
historians who have conducted re-
searches among old documents in
the archives here dating back two
centuries to the French era.
For four years between 171S and
1717 the land now comprised in the
boundaries of Mississippi was the
absolute possession Of Pierre Crozat,
rich French merchant. 1t was
turned over to him by Louis XIV
in return for financial help given
the French king in his war against
the English.
Crozat had full sovereignty over
the area He was its ruler, made
its laws and sent Cadillac out from
Trance to succeed Bienvi1le as gov
ernor. Crozat planned to make
his possessions pay revenue by find
ing gold mines and developing CON-
merce with Spanish Mexico. But
he failed to find any mines and his
tradel with the Spanish did not
materialize. His private fortune
exhausted, he finally returned
Mississippi to the French crown.
