Excerpt from The Present State of the European Settlements on the Mississippi: With a Geographical Description of That River Illustrated by Plans and Draughts Respecting Philip Pittman, the author of the book that is here reprinted, but few biographical data are obtainable. It appears from the British Army Lists that he was commissioned an ensign July I 3, 1760 and he is reported as an ensign in the 48th Regi ment Of Foot in the Lists for 1761, 1762, and 1763. By the Peace of Paris England Obtained from France all of Louisiana east of the Mississippi River except the Isle of Orleans, and from Spain the prov ince of Florida. It immediately became necessary to occupy and to organize this newly acquired ter ritory. August 7, 1763 the grd Battery of Royal Artillery from Havana received Pensacola from the Spanish commandant, and October 20 a de tachment of Highlanders received Mobile from the French. Pittman must have come with the first British troops or soon afterward, since he says that he resided five years as an engineer in those parts and it is definitely known that he left them toward the close of 1768.

From the preface: "THE European settlements on the river Missisippi comprehend Louisiana, part of West Florida, and the country of the Illinois. Five years residence as an engineer in those countries, during which time I was chiefly employed in surveying and exploring their interior parts, and an acquaintance with the principal inhabitants, enables me to speak with at least as much authority as any author who has hitherto wrote on the fame subject. Louisiana is no longer the fame as in the time of Pere Hennepin; and all other authors that I have read on this subject rather abound with Indian stories and talks, than with useful information. Father Charlevoix made so rapid a progress through those countries, that the greatest part of what he advances must be from the doubtful information of others, and not from his own personal knowledge. Neither is the reader recompensed by the small quantity of pure ore he can extract from that mass of dross, in the elaborate accounts of Le Page du Pratz. It may be thought extraordinary that I have confined my accounts to the banks of the Missisippi, and not touched on the other parts of West Florida, which may be supposed equally interesting. This work was originally wrote at the request, and for the perusal only, of the secretary of state for the colonies; and I imagined that he must have received every information necessary to form a perfect knowledge of that province, from persons who have commanded in it. Besides, my ingenious friend governor Johnstone has told me, that he intends soon to publish a book on this subject; by which means the deficiency in mine will be amply made up, and the publick will have the advantage of receiving instruction and entertainment from a much more pleasing and abler pen. I am surprised that nobody has yet attempted to wipe off the unfavourable impressions that have taken place in the minds of many people, from the unjust reports made of the climate of West Florida, and which still retards the settling of that fine country. A regard for truth, and a desire to render service to that valuable province, the welfare of which has been obstructed by ignorance and misrepresentation, makes me take this occasion to shew the true causes of its supposed unhealthiness."
