Pioneer Hunters Of The Kankakee (1920)

Pioneer Hunters of the Kankakee is a historical book written by Jacob Lorenzo Werich in 1920. The book tells the story of the early pioneers who settled in the Kankakee River Valley in Illinois during the 19th century. The author, who was a descendant of one of the pioneer families, provides a detailed account of the challenges these settlers faced in establishing their homes and communities in the wilderness.The book is divided into chapters that cover different aspects of pioneer life, such as hunting, fishing, farming, and social customs. The author also includes anecdotes and personal stories passed down through his family, which add a personal touch to the historical narrative.One of the main themes of the book is the relationship between the pioneers and the Native American tribes who inhabited the area. The author describes how the pioneers learned from the Native Americans about hunting and fishing techniques, as well as medicinal plants and herbs. However, he also acknowledges the conflicts and tensions that arose between the two groups as the pioneers encroached on Native American lands.Overall, Pioneer Hunters of the Kankakee provides a fascinating glimpse into the lives of early American settlers and their interactions with the natural world and Native American cultures.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
