Description:
The author was one of the early settlers in Chicago in the early 1830s, and had hunted and fished with the local Pottawatomie Indians for years. This address to the Chicago Historical Society combines his nostalgia for that life in nature with a review of what was known about the origins of the local Indian tribes.
