Description: "Mosneron's memoirs illustrate a merchant's life in the golden age of France's major slave-trading port, his austere values, and his persistence. As a young captain, he introduces us to the experience of voyages to the African coast and to the commercial circles of Caribbean colonial ports"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.
