Biography Born in New Orleans, Trudeau joined the Spanish Army in his youth, a place where he excelled, attaining the rank of Captain of the Regiment of Infantry[1] and Lieutenant Colonel.[2] In 1792, Zénon Trudeau was appointed Lieutenant-governor of Upper Louisiana,[3] a position located in St. Louis. During his administration two new posts were established.[4] He commanded the galiot La Flèche in an expedition from Natchez to St. Louis and back in the winter of 1793.[5] In 1797, he granted lands which would later be part of the state of Missouri to Joseph Conway and his family, and to his friend Daniel Boone and his family (offering him 850 acres).[6] Trudeau left his position as Lieutenant-governor of Alta Luisiana in 1799, being succeeded by Charles de Hault de Lassus.
