According to my family history record, an ancestor on my mother's side (Reno, changed from Renault) was involved in this purchase. He was sent to Paris to try to negotiate the purchase, but instead he signed an agreement with the French which obligated the U.S. Congress to purchase the territory for $15 Million. When he returned from France he came under criticism for not getting the agreement approved first and also many people thought the price was too high. Nowhere in your current article do I see any mention of his name. Are you re-writing history? Thanks, Mike Powell
