Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of Lasalle County, Illinois: Its Topography, Geology, Botany, Natural History, History of the Mound Builders, Indian Tribes, French Explanations, a Sketch of the Pioneer Settlers of Each Town to 1840, With an Appendix, Giving the Present Status of the County, Its Population, Resource The volume here given to the public is the outgrowth of a long cherished feeling of the citizens of La Salle County, often publicly expressed, that the memories of the pioneer settlers should be preserved. That the circumstances which surrounded those who reclaimed the wildness of uncultivated nature, who converted an unproductive waste into fruitful fields, and the rude theatre of savage life to the fit abode of Christian civilization, and the seat of thousands of happy homes, should be truthfully portrayed and handed down for the contemplation of posterity. To do this, after a lapse of half a century from the time the rude and simple red men retired from the scene, and the incoming race commenced the herculean task they have so well performed, is beset with difficulties that one inexperienced can not appreciate.
