his home near the fort and became
known as steadfast friend Of the

That was the picture which you
might have seen until recently in the
Cook county forest preserve near Chi
cago where Mrs. Mary Robinson
Rager, daughter of Alexander Robin
son or Chee-Chu-Pin-Quay, chief Of
the Pottawatomies, Chippewas and OF
tawas, made her home for more than
three-quarters of a century. The
other day she slipped quietly into end

last link between the modern metrop-
Fort Dearborn from which Ii sprang.
1t was the last echo, too. of the Fort
Dearborn massacre, frontier trag-
edy which In the history of the Middle
West Is curiously analogous to the
Fort William Henry massacre in the
East. which forms the climax In
Cooper's Last of the Mohicans.'
For her father. Alexander Robinson,
was one of the friendly Pottawatomie
chiefs whose friendship for the whites
saved that bloody affair from being
one of utter horror. Robinson himself
was half-breed, the son of Scotch
trader and an Ottawa Indian woman,
who was born at Mackinac. Mich, in
1889. He made his home with his
mothers people and saw the Ottawas
and other confederated tribes crushed
by Mad Anthony" Wayne at the
Battle Of Fallen Timbers in 1874. Al
though he was only five years old at
the time Robinson retained vivid
recollection of what he saw on that
years often told his thrilling story to
his white friends. Later he married a
Pottawatome woman and became a
chief Of that tribe.
At the outbreak of the War of 1872
Robinson was living near Fort Dear
horn, which had been built on the pres
ent site of Chicago in 1903. He had
formed fast friendship with John
Kinzie, often called "the father of
Chicago" a trader and silversmith
who settled near Fort Dearborn in
1904. and 1t was this friendship which
probably influenced him to play the
role which he did on the fateful day
of August Is. 1872.
For some time previous to the mas
sacre the little garrison commanded
by Capt. Nathan Head had been
alarmed by various hostile acts of the
Indians who were hanging around the
post. but affairs did not become
threatening until the middle of the
summer Then on August 8 Head re-
ceived orders from General Hull at
Detroit to evacuate the post, destroy
the arms and ammunition. distribute
the stores from the government fac
tory among the friendly Indians and
proceed to Fort Wayne, Ind. Although
HeaId realized fully how perilous the
execution of this order would be, he
had no other choice but to obey. So
the evacuation of the fort was
planned for August IS.
