Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Last of the Illinois and a Sketch of the Pottawatomies: Read Before the Chicago Historical Society, December 13, 1870
That Old lake shore, fashioned as God had made it by his winds and waves for ten thousand years before, had more charms for me, than since the defacing hand of man has builded there broad avenues and great marble palaces, which are as far beneath the works of nature's Architect, as man himself is, beneath Him who made all things well.
