Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Recollections of Early Illinois and Her Noted Men: Read Before the Chicago Historical Society, March 16, 1880 While cultivating these narrow strips of land the men would be in close proximity to each other, ready at a moment's notice to assemble for mutual protection or assistance. This arrangement gave the French people, likewise, an opportunity to gratify their strong social tastes and feelings. On the other hand, there is nothing gregarious or social in the disposition of the American pioneer. He takes his family out into the wilds, and squats down wherever he finds water, timber, and game abundant. He builds a cabin, breaks up a few acres of ground, which he puts in corn, keeping in mind all the time that he is as far away from neighbors as is consistent with safety from Indians. He claims the whole country as belonging to him and his class. He has not the slightest conception of the rights of the aboriginal inhabitants. He regards it as his mission to drive them off, or what is preferable, to exterminate them. The minds of these men seem to have been so peculiarly constructed or perverted as to render it impossible for them to comprehend the fact that Indians have rights. They are Me manifest destiny - men par excellence. The time in which they are not occupied in the corn-patch is spent in the deepest forest solitudes, their only companions their dog and gun. Day in and day out, he creeps stealthily through the woods watching for game be it a buck or an Indian, the instant he perceives it his 'unerring ri e lays it dead at his feet. The savages in his front, and the wave of population coming after, equally annoy him. It is said that if your genuine pioneer hears his neighbor's chickens crow, he is off into the more profound depths of the wilderness, and gives up his cabin and his clearing, and goes off muttering his curses against the Indians and the Yankees.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Fighting Men of Illinois: An Illustrated Historical Biography Compiled From Private and Public Authentic Records Here where fearless courage, undaunted bravery and hardy perseverance always find the response of ready appreciation, we of the west look back with glowing pride to the deeds accomplished and obsta cles overcome by these intrepid men - the founders of our western civilization - the discoverers Of our homes today. The bright lustre of their fame France shares with us since La Salle, Joliet, Marquette, Champlain, and a thousand others mothered by fair France rest now in the bosom of the land that ever enticed and enthralled them. Their efforts are the corner stones of the greatest civilization the world has ever known. Their trials and tribulations were not in vain. Upon the foundation left by them there has in less than three centuries been established the most powerful nation known to history. Tradition - the forerunner of history - really means unproven history - but it does not necessarily follow tradition is untrue. Many really 'great experiences befallen hitherto unknown and obscure men, have been related, retold and marked tradition and have been denied the pages of civilized history. The probability that many of these undertakings were true, but were accorded to tradition and unrecorded in history is due to the fact that they were either not recorded securely enough, or that they were recorded in wrong places. The great tradition of France is that in 1488, antedating Columbus by four years, Cousin, a French sailor, discovered America. Cousin, sailing from his home port of Dieppe, while far out to sea Off the African coast, was forced westward by wild winds until one day he beheld land in the distance. Upon closer investigation he made out the mouth of a large river. Lacking the initiative Of the later navigators, he made no explorations, nor did he land, but with the aid of clement weather retraced his course and in due time returned to France.
