Slavery and Romance in the Illinois Country: Élisabeth Chonicoué and Martial Bardoux
THE ILLINOIS WAS THE DOMINANT TRIBE IN THE ILLINOIS RIVER VALLEY during the second half of the seventeenth century. As the century progressed, Frenchmen from Canada—as traders, missionaries, and finally settlers—were increasingly present in the region and became deeply involved with various branches of that nation, most importantly for us the Kaskaskia. In their policy of war-making, the Illinois traditionally enslaved captors from other tribes, …
Inquietus: La Salle in the Illinois Country

Walczynski does not contend that early colonization in Illinois (in the form of La Salle and his associates) was a good thing; he merely argues that it was historically significant and interesting, indeed, positively captivating…

Francois Vallé and His World: Upper Louisiana before Lewis and Clark
In Francois Valle and His World, Carl Ekberg provides a fascinating biography of Francois Valle (1716-1783), placing him within the context of his place and time. Valle, who was born in Beauport, Canada, immigrated to Upper Louisiana (the Illinois Country) as a penniless common laborer sometime during the early 1740s. Engaged in agriculture, lead mining, and the Indian trade, he ultimately became the wealthiest and most powerful individual in Upp…

From Dutch to European War: Louis XIV and Louvois Are Tested
The beginning of Louis XIV's Dutch War (from 1672 to 1678-79) is well known to us. Every history of the Sun King's reign pauses to describe the blitz of the French armies up the corridor of the Bishopric of Liege (a possession of Louis's ally, Elector Max Heinrich of Cologne) and then down the delta of the Rhine River into the Dutch Republic.' The crossing of the Rhine in June 1672 is one of the great feats of French military history, immortalize…
