Wau-Bun: The "Early Day" of the North-West Produced by Tom Cosmas from materials generously provided on The Internet Archive. "Wau-Bun: The 'Early Day' of the North-West" by Mrs. John H. Kinzie is a historical account written in the mid-19th century. The narrative unfolds the early experiences of the author and her husband, who journey to establish their lives in the burgeoning American frontier, particularly the Chicago area. The book offers insights into the relationships among early settlers, Indigenous peoples, and the evolving cultural landscape of the American Northwest. The opening of the narrative introduces the reader to the author's departure from Detroit in September 1830 aboard the steamer "Henry Clay," setting the stage for an adventurous journey filled with both anticipation and challenges. As the author recounts the unpleasantness of being caught in a storm, she reflects on her dreams of living in the romanticized "Indian country." The narrative highlights her excitement about the regions she has long imagined, sharing vivid descriptions of her travels, encounters with friendly faces, and the contrasting hardships faced during the voyage. This introductory glimpse into her life establishes a compelling backdrop for her experiences and the historical dynamics of the time. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
