Tribes, Nations, Treaties of the Woodlands

A two volume, illustrated work that covers the history of Illinois indigenous people. Included within these volumes are entries on the cultural history of various tribes associated with the state or region, biographies on certain tribal leaders, and  treaties made between the United States and Native American groups, as well as a map showing the location of tribes in the 1500s.

This set is a useful resource for researchers and novices interested in gathering information about the historic tribes of the Illinois region.

During the course of the Great Depression, over six thousand writers were hired by the Works Progress Administration to create a series of state travel guidebooks known as the American Guide Series. Produced between 1935 and 1943, these collections documented the history of a state, along with cultural, political, and social information on its 1930’s conditions, thereby providing today’s researchers and historians with an invaluable source of primary historical information not found elsewhere. Illinois: A Descriptive and Historical Guide includes maps, photographs, and seventeen essays that cover this unique period in American history, and is a wonderful addition to any collection of state history materials.
