Sieur  De Grave (De Graves?)   Commandant at Fort Saint Pierre up to December 1723 when he is ordered to New Orleans  where he is cashiered on the basis of formal complaints from his seventy soldiers.  He was sent home to France in disgrace.  While commandant at Fort Saint Pierre he ordered Lt. DUMONT to design and build housing for laborers one musket shot from the Fort. He also ordered a water reservoir system, a large spacious garden and a walled fort with four bastions.  Each of the four sides was 185(?) feet long.  A foundation was dug. Palings, each 12 feet in length, were placed in the foundation with their tops sharpened. Three and one half feet of each paling was sunk in the ground.  In each of the four bastions two gun ports were set up for cannons on their carriages. Once the twelve foot pilings were in place, Lt. Dumont  directed that beams of Cyprus five inches wide be nailed to the inside of the palisade. Long nails were driven from outside to secure these horizontal support beams on the inside of the palisade. On the inside of the fort there was a parapet four feet wide and two and a half feet high so that soldiers could fire over the top of the palisade.  Dumont describes building a guard house next to the main gate, barracks, officer’s quarters, a residence for the commandant, four large warehouses and a house for the warehouse keeper.  DUMONT further describes two gates to the fort, a moat, a drawbridge and workshops for carpenters, blacksmiths and locksmiths.
