The Mutiny Brides - coming November 15th

From France to the frontier of New Orleans …

Their Journey was perilous. Their resolve unparalleled.

In 1719, La Mutine sailed from France in the cold of January to what would later be known as New Orleans. The women on board were unjustly tried and labeled as prostitutes, thieves, and beggars. Among them Héléne, Josianne, Suzanne and Maelle, women who would prove to be of incredibly strong resolve.

After twelve weeks in chains aboard La Mutine, they set foot on the land that was to become their new home. They were met by a wild, untamed wilderness where they endured years of isolation, famine, hurricanes, disease, and ever-changing governmental rule.

These women that France so cavalierly disposed of, not only survived but became successful businesswomen, wealthy landowners, and matriarchs of large, prosperous families.

This is the story of the “Gulf Coasts” long-forgotten founding mothers.
