Book Description
Excerpt from The French Foundations, 1680-1693 Volumes of the Illinois Historical Collections hitherto issued have spanned the field Of Illinois history from the memory of men now living to the beginning of the British period in 1763. But except for the first volume, which was planned on a difi'erent model from the later volumes Of the Collections, no material has been published on the ninety years Of French exploration and exploita tion, though the period was one in which the name Of Illinois was a familiar word not merely to the statesmen Of Old France but also to their rivals Of England and Spain.
