Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book uncovers the fascinating history of French colonial settlement at the Cahokia Mounds, one of the most extensive prehistoric earthwork complexes in North America. Drawing from historic documents and archaeological evidence, the author paints a vivid picture of the French chapel and associated Cahokia Illini settlement that existed on the site from 1735 to 1752. Exploring themes of cultural interaction and conflict, the book sheds light on the relationship between the French missionaries and the local Illini tribes. Through analysis of artifacts such as glass beads, ceramics, and metalware, the author provides insights into the daily lives, trade networks, and spiritual practices of the Cahokia Illini during a pivotal period of transition in the region. The book's well-researched and engaging narrative not only contributes to our understanding of the French colonial era in Illinois but also highlights the enduring legacy of the Cahokia Mounds as a site of cultural significance and historical intrigue.
