The settlement of Illinois, 1778-1830
"The Settlement of Illinois, 1778-1830" by Arthur Clinton Boggess is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This work delves into the complex and multifaceted process of settlement in Illinois during its formative years, exploring various societal, political, and economic challenges faced by the inhabitants in that era. The opening of the book outlines the initial establishment of the County of Illinois, created by an act of the Virginia legislature in the late 18th century. It details the demographic landscape, highlighting the significant presence of Native American tribes as well as small settlements of French inhabitants. Boggess introduces the various challenges arising from land ownership disputes, interactions with Indigenous peoples, and the difficulties in government structure and military defense during a time of upheaval. His scholarly approach suggests that the experiences in Illinois may serve as a microcosm of broader themes in American settlement history. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
