A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Illinois country, but only to show what was the part played by Starved Rock, or Fort St. Louis of the I llinois, in the great struggle of France and England for the possession of North A merica. This story forms an unwritten chapter of American colonial history, which has been overshadowed, so to say, by the comparatively insignificant incident (historically speaking) which gave to the Rock on which Fort St. Louis was placed its expressive modern name. For the first time, too, in an accessible form, a connected chronicle has been made, as a part of the history of this site, of the first Christian mission in the Mississippi Valley, called the Immaculate Conception, a record of Christian missionary endeavor and martyrdom that added lustre to the always dramatic story of the early Roman Catholic missions among the Indians of North A merica. The authorities consulted are, I think, all named in the notes to the text, for the benefit of those students who care to pursue the subject to greater length than was here deemed advisable.
