Louis Armand de Lom d’Arce, Baron de Lahontan, 1666-c. 1713, French traveller, entered the French army, and in 1683 embarked with his regiment for New France. In 1692
he was made royal lieutenant for Newfoundland, but in 1693 deserted from the service, and became an exile from the French
domains. He wandered about Europe and in 1703 the first edition of his Voyages was published, both in French and in an English
translation. Part of the book is written in the form of letters. Three issues of the translation appeared in 1735; it is not
known which was in the Jefferson library.
