Excerpt from Lost Maramech and Earliest Chicago: A History of the Foxes and of Their Downfall Near the Great Village of MaramechOf the measures planned at Versailles for the destruction of the Fox tribe, the carrying out of none was more fatal than that of 1730, although it is probable that a smaller number of the fated tribe bit the dust than a few years earlier at Butte des Morts, on the Fox river of Wisconsin. Where the affair of 1730 took place had been lost up to my discovery Of an ancient earthwork near Plano, Illi nois, that had undoubtedly been palisaded, since then I have devoted much time in attempts that, fortunately, have proved successful, to determine what actually took place, and its date.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
