Description: The author wrote in the Preface that a very large share of the content of this volume was collected by him in discussions with early settlers and by an Indian he employed to collect stories and narratives from Indians. Much of the book concerns interaction between pioneers and Indians, and there appears to be a lot of material about Peoria.
