Louisiana History Collection - Part 1
“The massacre of the French by the Natchez Indians at Fort Rosalie on November 28, 1729, and the subsequent events, has been mentioned by most major historians of the Louisiana scene. The problem is that few of them agree on the details. The number of colonists killed has been calculated at as high as five hundred and as low as two hundred and thirty-five. Estimates of the strength of the Natchez as a tribe vary from seven thousand to two thousand. One account states flatly that the Choctaws wer...e the only other tribe contacted by the Natchez in the conspiracy, while another mentions massacres by Indian allies at other French forts during the months of the uprising. One historian speaks of only four Natchez warriors being burned at the stake by Perier in New Orleans, though several others include two women among those burned. One says that these unfortunates were captured by French soldiers; another claims it was done by Indian allies of the French, while yet another identifies the allies as the Tunicas.MoreLess
