Description
Excerpt from The First Irish in Illinois: Reminiscent of Old Kaskaskia Days, Before the Illinois State Historical Society at Its Third Annual Convention at Jacksonville, January 23 and 24, 1902 French contentment, savage resentment and pioneer endurance. Vincennes, Pittsburg and Detroit were its nearest neighbors on the great Western expanse. But, like the sites of Tyre and Sidon, famous in ancient history, it exists no more, the encroach ing waters of the Mississippi having washed it away and made it a memory. After the capitulation of Quebec in 1763 the British claimed ownership of the whole of the French territory known as Can ada, and prepared to garrison all the forts the French had erect ed, including Detroit, Peoria, Vincennes, Chartres, Cahokia, Kaskaskia, etc. The last-named three were situated on the Mississippi River, and somewhat contiguous.
