To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
1 1 is said on good authority that at least 10, 000 specimens of implements, weapons and pottery have been gathered from the sites of the Indian villages at Bowman ville and other places to the north, on the North Branch of the Chicago River, some of them indicat- ing very early French occupation. The white man's modern home and gardens on the bluffs of the lake present no novelty in location, as the lodge circles left in the ground, preserved by vegetation, show the location of ancient wigwams..., and the sod covered rows of long deserted corn fields show clearly that some Indian, possibly cen- turies ago, had the same desire for the lake forest and the lake view as this presumptuous modern Anglo-Saxon resident of the North Shore. We know from glass beads that there were Indian traders at the village, and from silver crosses and similar ornaments found with the dead in Indian cemeteries that catholic missionaries labored here. Copper implements and those of obsidian show that these camps and villages had visitors from the far away Yellowstone where obsidian is found, at the obsidian cliff, in the present Yellowstone National Park, and also visitors from Northern Michigan where were the ancient copper mines.
