Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Mann's Chapel Country: A Chronicle of a Pioneer Community, Church, School Mann's Chapel, Vermilion County's most famous pioneer church, stands on a winding country road just east of the point where the Old Hubbard Trail bridges the North Fork of the Vermilion River south of Rossville. For over a century it has stood there while its red brick walls weathered to pink the little graveyard at its back became dotted with new stones and new names (five generations in some families), and Hubbard's Trail changed from a silent wilderness path to a noisy concrete speedway. The Mann's Chapel plot lies in an area of rich prairie farm land. Along the road, and in small woodlands nearby, there grows an amazing variety of na tive trees and plants. Small wonder the pioneers were attracted to this part Of the country; it was bountiful beyond compare. Wives of the early settlers found wild strawberries, raspberries, grapes, and elderberries for fine preserves; or wild gooseberries for plump pies. The chil dren made a game Of gathering baskets Of black walnuts, hickory and hazel nuts to crack by the winter fireplace; dug aromatic sassafras roots to be steeped into that hot steamy brew known as sassafras tea, highly regarded as a fine spring tonic. The pioneer's ax had broken the stillness which lay on the land for thou sands of years. With constant clanging it brought down wood for building or burning - oak or maple, wild cherry or ash, maybe straight-splitting hackberry to fence the clearings, perhaps a cottonwood to hollow into a little log cradle. An old Vermilion county history tells us: Wild game was plenty. You could shoot prairie chickens from the roofs of houses. Wild geese were plenty on the prairies, staying here awhile spring and fall. Deer were so plenty as hardly to attract much comment, and (here we have a sour note) wolves would hardly keep away from the dooryard. That last phrase was to be taken literally, and figuratively, too, for money was scarce in those Old days.

Download or read book Polish Pioneers in Illinois 1818 1850 written by James D. Lodesky and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2010-02-24 with total page 407 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book attempts to discover the names of the first Polish settlers in Illinois, when they came to Illinois and their stories when possible. Some left complete stories about themselves while others only a very small amount. The time period starts in 1818, the year Illinois became a state and ends in 1850. I found much more information between 1818 and 1850 then I thought I would so I cut the book off at 1850. The Polish settlers are divided into five different categories. 1. Polish Political Exiles from Russia. 2. Polish emigrants from mainly German occupied Poland. 3. Polish Jews. 4. People of Polish descent, those persons with a Polish ancestor. 5. Emigrants from an undetermined county whose last names look Polish.
