Thomas Mayne Reid (4 April 1818 - 22 October 1883) was an Irish-American novelist, who fought in the Mexican-American War (1846-1848). His many works on American life describe colonial policy in the American colonies, the horrors of slave labour and the lives of American Indians.

It is one of the oldest of North-American settlements, having been a French trading port at an early period.
