"The Settlement of Illinois, 1778-1830" by Arthur Clinton Boggess is a detailed historical record exploring the early days of Illinois, from 1778 to 1830, and the struggles of its settlers. The narrative begins with the creation of the County of Illinois by Virginia, painting a picture of a land occupied by Native American tribes and small French settlements struggling with issues of land ownership and defense. Boggess outlines the difficulties of establishing a structured government and dealing with Native American populations during a turbulent time. His study portrays the experiences in Illinois as a smaller-scale example of larger patterns in American settlement history.
