In April of 1803 we purchased from France the vast region known as Louisiana. The people of the Missis sippi Valley were filled with joy. The people of Ken tucky and Tennessee had much flour and pork, corn, cattle and tobacco to sell. These they carried down the Mississippi. They sold their goods in New Orleans or loaded them there on a vessel bound for some Atlantic.
