Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of Indiana, for Boys and Girls I. The Indian inhabitants and the coming of the French. Indiana became one of the United States in 1816. Her first white visitors a century and a half earlier, under the leadership of the French explorer La Salle, found here a wooded wilderness in the undisturbed possession of Indians, who lived on such products of the soil as they could cultivate without tools and on the game they secured with traps and arrows. Soon the Jesuit missionaries began to come, one at a time, entering the Indiana country from Lake Erie by way of the Maumee River, carrying their light canoes over a nine-mile portage through the woods near what is now Fort Wayne, and reembarking upon the Wabash River to follow it to its mouth. Other adventurous French priests found their way from the northeast to the headwaters of the Ohio River, and, drifting with its rapid current as far as the Illinois border, pushed up the Wabash to where Lafayette now stands. To their superiors in Quebec and in far-off France these devoted men carried back their story of a race of intelligent and hospitable natives who lived in the rich Indiana valleys and had not yet begun to hate or fear the white invader. Following the trail of these early missionaries, but drawn by the spirit of adventure and the love of gain, there came next the forest rangers and fur traders to live among the natives, in Indian fashion, and engage in commerce with them.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Indiana Quarterly Magazine of History, Vol. 2: March, 1906, the Old Indian Traders of Indiana Of the early pioneers of our State, there is no class whose history, if known, would be more interesting than that of the old Indian traders. Far in advance of the progress, changes and improvements of civilization, they beheld our country in all the wildness, grandeur and solitude in which the God of nature placed it; and they commingled freely and familiarly with the aboriginal owners who have forever disappeared from its face. In point of time, they were among the first, if not themselves the first, of the explorers of the country, and are known to have visited and traded with the Indians within our borders about a century previous to our Revolutionary War. They have always occupied a prominent position in the early historical events of the country, as a controlling medium in the relations between the whites and Indians. But although - whether French, English or Americans - they have generally been men of education and general intelligence, yet such have been the peculiar nature and vicissitudes of their calling, that they have left us very few records of their experience. The earliest traders were French, and came mostly from Montreal, in Canada. From this place they transported their merchandise up the St. Lawrence and across the shores of the Lakes, to their posts in the West, by means of the simple canoe.

Download or read book Illinois in the War of 1812 written by Gillum Ferguson and published by University of Illinois Press. This book was released on 2012-01-26 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Russell P. Strange "Book of the Year" Award from the Illinois State Historical Society, 2012. On the eve of the War of 1812, the Illinois Territory was a new land of bright promise. Split off from Indiana Territory in 1809, the new territory ran from the junction of the Ohio and Mississippi rivers north to the U.S. border with Canada, embracing the current states of Illinois, Wisconsin, and a part of Michigan. The extreme southern part of the region was rich in timber, but the dominant feature of the landscape was the vast tall grass prairie that stretched without major interruption from Lake Michigan for more than three hundred miles to the south. The territory was largely inhabited by Indians: Sauk, Potawatomi, Kickapoo, and others. By 1812, however, pioneer farmers had gathered in the wooded fringes around prime agricultural land, looking out over the prairies with longing and trepidation. Six years later, a populous Illinois was confident enough to seek and receive admission as a state in the Union. What had intervened was the War of 1812, in which white settlers faced both Indians resistant to their encroachments and British forces poised to seize control of the upper Mississippi and Great Lakes. The war ultimately broke the power and morale of the Indian tribes and deprived them of the support of their ally, Great Britain. Sometimes led by skillful tacticians, at other times by blundering looters who got lost in the tall grass, the combatants showed each other little mercy. Until and even after the war was concluded by the Treaty of Ghent in 1814, there were massacres by both sides, laying the groundwork for later betrayal of friendly and hostile tribes alike and for ultimate expulsion of the Indians from the new state of Illinois. In this engrossing new history, published upon the war's bicentennial, Gillum Ferguson underlines the crucial importance of the War of 1812 in the development of Illinois as a state. The history of Illinois in the War of 1812 has never before been told with so much attention to the personalities who fought it, the events that defined it, and its lasting consequences. Endorsed by the Illinois Society of the War of 1812 and the Illinois War of 1812 Bicentennial Commission.

Their early history is very obscure, but previous to their coming to Iowa, they resided in Indiana, the southern part of Michigan, and the _eastern part of Illinois. The United States has probably had more business transactions with these Indians than with any other nation. They were received into the -friendship and protection of the government by a treaty held with them on the 9th of January, 1789; and since that time, and previous to their removal to Iowa, the government held thirty-five treaties with the Indians of this nation.

Download or read book Illinois Grows Up Classic Reprint written by Frances Lord Blatchford and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-07-12 with total page 122 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Illinois Grows Up Some Indians were kind and friendly. Others were cruel and fierce. They had red skins and high cheek bones. Their hair grew long and straight. Their eyes shone bright and black. Furry skins of wild animals hung from their waists. On their feet they wore leather moccasins. They stuck feathers in their coarse, black hair, and painted themselves with vivid colors. The Algonquins lived in little villages along the banks of streams and in groves. Around their wigwams they smoked tobacco. They liked to play ball, to wrestle, and to dance. They could walk or run for a long time without getting tired. The men carried hatchets called tomahawks. They fished or hunted with bows and arrows. Though the woods were full of animals, andthe lakes full of fish, the Indians took only what they needed. Indian women did most of the hard work. They planted the crops, and raised the pumpkins, melons, and corn. When the village moved, the women pulled up the wigwams, carried the poles, and set up the new camp. They did all the cooking. They made their clothes with bone needles. Instead of coats, they wrapped themselves in gaily colored blankets. Their short leather skirts were fringed, and their moccasins embroidered with beads. The mothers called their babies papooses, and carried them strapped to their backs on wooden boards. They thought the boards made the children grow straight. Young children learned to stand pain without crying. The boys chipped stone arrowheads. For the winter they made snowshoes. They built strong, light canoes. They learned how to hunt and how to fight. The girls helped their mothers cook and sew. They prepared deerskins for shirts and leggings. They colored porcupine quills for trimming. They wove grass baskets, and sometimes painted pictures on their water jars. Indian girls liked pretty things, and often strung necklaces of beads or shells. We think of the Indians as having horses. But horses were brought to this country from the Old World. It's fun to imagine how the Indians of Illinois felt when they saw their first horse.

Download or read book Frontier Indiana written by Andrew R. L. Cayton and published by Indiana University Press. This book was released on 1998-08-22 with total page 362 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most history concentrates on the broad sweep of events, battles and political decisions, economic advance or decline, landmark issues and events, and the people who lived and made these events tend to be lost in the big picture. Cayton's lively new history of the frontier period in Indiana puts the focus on people, on how they lived, how they viewed their world, and what motivated them. Here are the stories of Jean-Baptiste Bissot, Sieur de Vincennes; George Croghan, the ultimate frontier entrepreneur; the world as seen by George Rogers Clark; Josiah Hamar and John Francis Hamtramck; Little Turtle; Anna Tuthill Symmes Harrison and William Henry Harrison; Tenskwatawa; Jonathan Jennings; Calvin Fletcher; and many others. Focusing his account on these and other representative individuals, Cayton retells the story of Indiana's settlement in a human and compelling narrative which makes the experience of exploration and settlement real and exciting. Here is a book that will appeal to the general reader and scholar alike while going a long way to reinfusing our understanding of history and the historical process with the breath of life itself.
Download or read book Illinois Classic Reprint written by Allan Nevins and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-11 with total page 418 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Illinois The fact that this volume constitutes the first history of the University of Illinois ever written has largely determined its character and scope. It seemed usees sary to the writer to throw a much greater emphasis upon the record of the past than upon the tendencies or characteristics of the present. Even in the four final chapters, nominally not historical at all, will be found much historical matter. The detailed steps in the de velopment of the institution are known to so few of the graduates or faculty, not to speak of outsiders, that a comprehensive account of them is the first requisite of any introduction to the inner spirit of the rapidly growing University. Moreover, these are years in which the institution is rapidly losing the men who as teachers and students have personal recollection of its first years, and it seemed a duty to attempt, while it was still possi ble, to interweave with facts from written sources those which come authentically from unwritten. Of the short comings of the book the writer is aware. It is an unfor tunate fact that till a short time ago the University, with the carelessness of youth, made no attempt to preserve historical materials relating to itself. There are many phases of its record upon which it has been hard to accumulate information. Upon some of the most important questions the oral testimony has been found to be conflicting, while upon others some de tailed oral testimony available has been shown so unreliable that it has had to be thrown aside in favor.

This book was released on 2017-11-22 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Lecture Delivered Before the Indiana Historical Society, on the Early History of Indianapolis and Central Indiana: At the Hall of the House of Representatives, on Monday Evening, the 31st of January, 1853 Assembled in this beautiful Capitol of the fourth State in the Union, who is not startled by the recollection, that the rains of scarce thirty winters have obliterated the tracks of the Indian from the spot on which it stands. Who can realize that little more than thirty years ago the red man built his bark lodge, and kindled his council-fires, in the dense wilderness that then covered the site of this fair and flourishing city? Yet this is true, and there are men living in our midst; men still in the full vigor and strength of manhood, who witnessed it all - aye more, the Delegate who once represented what now constitutes the States of Indiana, Illinois, and Wisconsin, in the Congress of the United States, is still living. Surely, when he looks on these three mighty States, now sending six Senators and twenty-three Representatives to our National Councils, he must feel that he is in a new existence or, like Rip Van Winkle, he has taken a long sleep, so great is the change. But still greater must be the surprise of those yet living, who were on the stage of action in 1799, when General William Henry Harrison was elected the first Delegate to Congress, from the terri tory north-west of the Ohio river, whose boundaries were Penn sylvania, the Ohio and Mississippi rivers, and Canada. The country west of the Mississippi then belonged to another power, and was acquired, by Mr. Jefferson, from France, in 1803. Arthur St. Clair had been Governor of the territory for several years, previous to' 1799, under a territorial government of the first grade having no Delegate in Congress.
