  1. Cleaveland was not much of a change. La Petit Roche and La Nouvelle Orleans were s.imply translations from French.

  2. Well I think we caught a map maker making a goof. St. Louis was always St. Louis (1764). Cahokia was founded (1699) before St. Louis on the East side of the Mississippi and is still there.

  4. I much prefer today's "Pittsburgh" to the older "Pittsborough," which is the pitts.
