Title
An Illustrated Chronicle of the Inoca in Southern Illinois - From Glaciers to Genocide
Description
After a brief focus on the spectacular geography of the Mississippi River Valley created by succeeding glaciers, we will focus mainly on the tribes of the Illini nation as they were pushed south into what would be Southern Illinois, living for four generations in close trade cooperation with the French while suffering from both deadly diseases and competing native tribes before being briefly used by the English, and eventually shoved off their land and annihilated by the Americans.
