Biographical History
Georges H.V. Collot was born in Chalons-surMarne in 1751 or 1752, and died in Paris in July, 1805. He was named governor of Guadeloupe, and after much political strife, he was able to reorganized the government in 1793. The following year the British, after taking Martinique, came to Guadeloupe and forced Collot to surrender. In 1796 he ascended the Mississippi and Ohio rivers as far as Cincinnati, making a survey of their courses, and cherishing the ambition of uniting French Canada with Louisiana. During this period, his scouts secretly visited the Detroit River, and, according to C.M. Burton, superimposed additional data upon a 1753 map to construct the famous Collot map of 1796, the original of which is in the Department of Marine, Paris. His political ambitions were well known to Anthony Wayne, whose officers intercepted Collot's letters. Collot was the author of two books. (from Mich. Pio. Colls, 15:171 ; la Grande Encyclopedie ; MS/Wayne, A. ; Appleton, Cycl. Am. Biog.) (Blue index cards)
