TAILIEUCHUNG - Hardscrabble The Fall of Chicago: A Tale of Indian Warfare

It was on a beautiful day in the early part of the month of April, 1812, that four persons were met in a rude farm-house, situated on the Southern Branch of the Chicago river, and about four miles distant from the fort of that name. They had just risen from their humble mid-day meal, and three of them were now lingering near the fire-place, filled with blazing logs, which, at that early season, diffused a warmth by no means disagreeable, and gave an air of cheerfulness to the interior of the smoke-discolored building | Hardscrabble 1 Hardscrabble The Project Gutenberg EBook of Hardscrabble by John Richardson 8 in our series by John Richardson Copyright laws are changing all over the world.
