Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Last of the Illini: Or the Legend of Starved Rock, a Tale of Illinois Prelude. The story that I fain would fashion, Is a legend of the Indians; Floated down from misty ages, From the twilight times long vanished, When the copper colored Redmen Roamed in pride these vast prairies, - Free and careless as the eagles; Wild as storm-clouds in a tempest; Happy like all things unfettered. 'Tis of old times that I tell you: Of the days when all these regions Scarcely knew a white mans footprint; When the panther, deer and bison Shared these meadows, plains and woodlands With the wild and wandering tribesmen - The Kickapoos, the Sacs and Foxes; The Ottawas and Pottawatomies: Last of all and of all greatest, The ruling nation, the Illini; - 'Tis the latter and their death-song Makes the burden of my story.

Download or read book Starved Rock State Park written by Dennis Cremin and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2002 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Visitors to Starved Rock State Park are often struck by the grandeur of its rustic lodge. They marvel at its massive fireplace and hand-hewn logs. Yet few realize that this structure is a tangible reminder of the Civilian Conservation Corps, which in the 1930s provided work for young men left unemployed by the Great Depression. Starved Rock Lodge was one of the biggest projects of the "CCC boys" along the Illinois and Michigan Canal, but it was far from the only one. Working as a team and living in camps from Willow Springs to La Salle-Peru, they built facilities that transformed the old canal into what became the I&M Canal State Trail (1974) and the nation's first National Heritage Corridor (1984). President Franklin D. Roosevelt's nation-wide program preserved the landscape from the ravages of soil erosion, flooding, and deforestation. In the process, the young men built beautiful parks, buildings, and shelters that we use and admire today.

Download or read book Massacre 1769 written by Mark Walczynski and published by Center for French Colonial Studies, Incorporated. This book was released on 2013 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: According to the Legend of Starved Rock, the last of the Illinois Indian tribe fled to the summit of the bluff where they were surrounded by the Potawatomi and Ottawa Indians. Unable to obtain food or water, Illinois men, women and children, were destroyed by starvation. Was this account a horrific historical event, or nothing more than fanciful fiction, based on fragments of many events, popularized by the creative pens of imaginative nineteenth-century writers? Massacre 1769: The Search for the Origin of the Legend of Starved Rock reviews the earliest and most influential accounts of the well-known legend, traces the history and culture of the Illinois Indian tribe from its earliest contact with Europeans, and closely examines the event of 1769, the murder of Ottawa war chief, Pontiac, at the hand of an Illinois warrior, the incident that, according to the legend, precipitated the destruction of the Illinois tribe at Starved Rock. With careful examination of archaeological excavations and surveys, at or around Starved Rock, and extensive study of the well-documented historical record, Massacre 1769, at last, brings clarity to this event, proving again, that history is even more enthralling than fiction. For both scholar and history enthusiast alike.
