SECTION 2 - PAGE 6 - PLAINDEALER-FRIDAY, OCTOBER 15,1976 CHURCH SERVICES During this Bicentennial year, we remember especially the covered wagon--and the days when vast stretches of fertile farming land and rich mining country lured the pioneers across our western plains. Packed in these lumbering vehicles were camping materials, stores of food and medicines, clothing and tools and weapons, for danger lurked everywhere. These were the rugged people who settled our West, and bore the torch of civilization across plain and mountain to the Pacific. But the covered wagons carried something besides the pioneers and their material belongings westward. They carried the faith of a great people, and they planted it in every village and settlement Faith is the foundation on which the West was built--and the East had been built before it Faith in God and the right in people and work and prayer... this is the true source of a nation's greatness. Every church spire pointing heavenward blazens the secret of our country's strength.

Persistent tension between England and the United States continued well after the American Revolution, coming to a head in 1812 with a destructive war that was to last three years and greatly affect the Illinois Territory. Illegally maintaining a series of forts throughout the Mississippi Valley, the British sought to safeguard their predominance by becoming allies with Kickapoo, Win­ nebago and Potawatomi In­ dians in order to occupy Illinois. The downfalls of Fort Dearborn in Chicago and Fort Detroit in Michigan early in the conflict forced the new United States to delay their western colonization plans. Thus until the war ended in 1815, the Illinois Territory could not be stabilized and the business of statehood pursued. From 1816 until 1818, there was a great migration of people from the East suddenly swelling Illinois'^ population. Renewed interest in the West after the War of 1812 brought rampant land speculations. The burgeoning prosperity gave birth to a movement towards statehood. In 1817, statehood for Illinois was pushed by three young politicians, Daniel Pope Cook, his uncle Nathanial Pope, and Elias Kent Kane. On Nov. 20, the territory's first newspaper - the Illinois Intelligencer, owned by Cook and his uncle -- began a cam­ paign that finally resulted in President James Monroe signing the Illinois Statehood Bill on Dec. 3, 1818. At the time, Illinois was populated by a relatively stable mix of former New Englanders and Virginians, descendents of French settlers and of course a large native Indian population. Even the early Indians likely were immigrants to America though, and so the pattern continued. Outside of Chicago, no per- INGS TOME- manent settlements existed in northern Illinois before the 1820s, but spurred by statehood, they soon began to form. By 1831, Rock Island and LaSalle counties were created; in 1834, Chicago and Galena were chartered; in 1839, Rockford. Over the next 50 years, dozens of smaller hamlets were formed and began growing into commercial centers for emerging agricultural areas. After the Revolution, many Virginians and Marylanders headed to the Kentucky Territory. Later, many of them moved north to the Illinois bottom lands, which became known as the American Bot­ tom. After the War of 1812, some of these settlers moved north once again, where others from the east and even from Wisconsin homesteads joined them, all attracted by open lands. This was true particularly after 1818, when Congress set aside a huge portion of Illinois as bounty lands for Revolutionary War pensioners and their families. These land grants extended over portions of what today are Whiteside, Rock Island, Henry, Lee and Bureau Counties. Over a thousand pensioners or their widows came to Illinois, in large part because of the land bounties. Land bounties were not the only attraction, however. Many pensioners staked out homesteads all over our region. Between 1818 and the 1840s, some 43 families of veterans of the American Revolution joined thousands of New Englanders migrating to Illinois. The Joseph T. Augustines in Grundy County and the David Campbells in Winnebago. Henry Collins and his wife settled in Lake County and William Duvall in Cook County Mittie, widow of Mason Hatch, lived out her days in Ogle County and Samuel Mitchell of Virginia lived in Jo Daviess County. Who were these people? A listing of their names likely would not ring any bells. History can be a kind of strange nightmare, in which most of the players are unsung. Some of those who represent direct links between the American Revolution and our region remain just above ob­ scurity. We can, however, piece together the lives of some. Take David Kennison, for example. Born into a poor family on Nov. 17, 1736 in Kingston, New Hampshire, he moved as a young man to Maine, where he married and worked a small farm. He began his revolutionary lifestyle on Dec. 16, 1773, by taking part in a terrorist act against a British merchant ship anchored in Boston harbor. Today, we refer to this ad­ venture as the Boston Tea Party. Decades later, Kennison presented the town fathers of Chicago with a vial of the tea which he claimed to have taken from the ship. The vial, which he presented as a kind of symbolic link between Chicago and the Revolution, is on display at the Chicago Historical Society. Kennison was no sunshine patriot and, with his local militias fought a number of times in the Revolution. After the war, he lived in relative obscurity in central New York State. Poor, a widower, and with a slight limp from a war wound, Kennison drifted from town to town, working in one place as a farm laborer, another as a street peddler. His war pension barely sustained him. He rejoined the U.S. Army in 1808 and immediately moved to Fort Dearborn, where he was stationed until 1810. Later he was reassigned to Portland, Maine, where he and his regiment remained through the bitterly fought War of 1812, in which they defended Sackett's Harbor. Following the end of hostilities, he seems to have wandered around New England, living a poor and foot­ loose existence. To add to his war time pensions, he panhandled, exchanging yarns about his experiences during the Revolution for a few pen­ nies - a not uncommon practice for veterans in those days. He did political work for the Democratic Party during his years of wandering and boasted in 1848 that he always picked a winner. He actively cam­ paigned and voted for Washington, Jefferson, Madison, Monroe, Jackson, Van Buren and Polk. Kennison returned to Chicago in 1845 under the patronage of William C. Mack, a New York City associate of Chicago grain baron Charles Walker. He lived out his days at Mack's home on Randolph Street just west of the Chicago River.

Despite his advanced years he worked the streets of Chicago, becoming something of a living legend through his stories. In 1848, he became manager of Mooney's Museum, an a.nusement house at State and Lake streets. People would come from neighboring states just to look upon this aging man who reportedly danced jigs and performed comedy routines. He was usually the keynote speaker at July 4th picnics for the seven years he lived in Chicago. Kennison died on Feb. 24, 1852 at the ripe old age of 115 years, three months and seventeen days. It seemed to some as if the entire city turned out the following day to pay their last respects. Fire companies accompanied his casket, led by an army band. Cannons roared at his graveside in what is now Lincoln Park, where a marker placed in 1903 still designates the approximate burial site. David Kennison or others you've no doubt never heard about, such as John Dudley, Joseph Young or Thomas Matteson. We have forgotten their names; we should never forget the revolutionary spirit they symbolize. NEXT: Northern Illinois Folklore Tips For A Fun- Filled Camoout A camping trip can be an unforgettable experience for the entire family. Unforget­ table as a relaxing, back-to- nature vacation or unforget­ table as a disasterous week­ end in the wilderness. Barbara Tickner, project manager in the loss control de­ partment of CNA Insurance, offers assurances that the good times can outweigh the mishaps if campers will ob­ serve simple health and safety rules. Tickner, a veteran camper, offers the following sug­ gestions as ways to lessen the risks of accidents during a camping trip: • When pulling a utility or camping trailer, limit the load to one-half the car's weight to decrease the pos­ sibility of accidents or auto breakdown. • Make a thorough check of all camping equipment to make sure it is in functioning order before you begin. • Inexperienced campers might try a "shakedown" or dry run of campsite proce­ dures before the first trip. • Select a well-drained campsite with good circula­ tion and a combination of sun and shade. • Unless the water at the campsite is certified as pure, utilize drinking water brought from home. • Use a designated fire­ place when possible. • If you must devise a campfire, select a cleared area which is sheltered from the wind. A small fire is safer and best for cooking and comfort. • When ex t ingu i sh ing your campfire, first let it die down. Then break up the coals, spread the partly burnt pieces, soak them, stir and soak again. Repeat this process and cover the area with dirt or sand. A poorly extinguished fire can travel underground, feeding on dry materials, and break out days later. • Familiarize yourself with poisonous plants, danger­ ous animals and violent weath­ er conditions in the area. • Spray clothing and tents with repellent to avoid the torment of insects. Tickner also suggests that campers take a look at their auto and homeowners insur­ ance policies to make sure the camping trailer, tent, gear and expensive hobby equip­ ment, such as cameras or hunting gear, are covered in case of loss or damage.
