The
Louisiana Purchase story...

Monroe,
Livingston and Talleyrand in Paris
| The
Louisiana Purchase of 1803 was probably the greatest real estate
deal in the history of the world. Almost doubling the size of
the United States, the final treaty, signed by France and the
U.S., was the product of many months of difficult
diplomatic efforts and negotiations.
