The Edward Alexander Parsons Collection contains several hundred sub-collections comprising a wide variety of manuscript documents relating primarily to the Louisiana area. Records dated between 1678 and 1928 provide a wealth of information about government of the area by the French and Spanish in the 18th century, negotiations between the United States and these countries for free navigation of the Mississippi River and for the Louisiana Purchase, activities of the Louisiana Militia in the War of 1812 and the Battle of New Orleans, and the Aaron Burr/James Wilkinson conspiracy. Individual documents of note include several documents issued by Louis XIV and Louis XV of France, correspondence and legal records relating to privateer and smuggler Jean Laffite, 1813-1815; correspondence of General James Wilkinson regarding the War of 1812 and other matters; and two late 18th-century letters from Thomas Jefferson, one to Bernardo de Galvez, regarding settlement, navigation, and Indians.
