These indians had a village at the mouth of the river where Chicago now stands. while the powerful tribe of the .111- inois Indians were located a little farther south. The Pottawatomies, who belonged to the powerful Algon~ quin family, were located originally in the tyieinity of Sault Ste. Marie. They were hunters and fishermenj and inclined to be aggressive and: warlike, . They gradually worked their way south until they reached this locality and the. Miamis, who formerly made their headquarters at the mouth of the Chicago river. de~ averted that camping place and went farther East, in order to he nearer their brethren in the state of Michi- gan. 'l'he Pottawatomies were faith- ful allies of the French until after the death of Pontiac,- and took part" with that chiettain in his attack on Fort St: Joseph in May 1763 and the subsequent siege of Detroit. It is said that Pontiac. disappointed at the results of his ei'iorts to keep the hated English from the. region of Detroit, came to Illinois and made a settlement with the Ottawas (on the banks at the Kankakee river). In 1769 he was assassinated and the Ottawae, CMppewss and Pottawato- mies believed that the Illinois in- dians were accessory to the crime. In revenge for the death oi“ their idolized leader war was waged by the Pottawatomies "and Northern tribes against the Illinois until the latter were exterminated and the victors hadpossessidn of all Northern Ill-w inois. Starved Rock in LaS'alle County» :was the scene of the final disaster which completely annihilat- ed the once powerful nation which gave the state of Illinois its name. devélopggnt: This is my proof that the tree was standing at. the time Go]- umbua discovered America.

IIIIIA .... or the , -_‘ - uvuu any of, you know the origin o: It Mr. Anson H; Taylor came to Chi- ' cago as early as 1829. and spent his time in and near Chicago thereafter. Early in the 30’s he wanted to ilnd " higher ground and so he‘set out and’ followed the Indian trail along the sand ridge later~ known as the Green Bay road. , When, he reached the lake near the plaée where the house. attire late Robert Scott now stands he those this for this home and built a log house near the edge of the bluff. He acquired‘the'tltle- to this property by letters patent from the government. One of these parch- ments dated 1839 is stgned 'by Mar-i tin Van Buren', the otherldated 1845 is signed by James K. Polk. (Ex- hibits documents). ‘ Later on Taylor’s house was mov-' ed to the Green. Bay Road about five hundred feet farther west, where he built a substantial frame ad- dition to the house and opened a tavern (that part of the Green Bay road was closed several years ago}. The old house stood just east of the row or evergreens which are midway between Sheridan road ‘ and Green Bay road as ‘tt- is' now; located in front of the Scott property. Henry Taylor, whole with us tonight, was born in thla'hquse. v'l‘he' tavern was known as the 'Impier House. Here is the old sign which swung over the entrance (exhibiting a weatherâ€" beaten sign about three feet square. bearing the inscription , “Lapier house. A. H. Taylor"). This was probably the ilrst sign ever swung to the breeze in this part of the North Shore, The house was built in the 3 early 40's. , « This is the legénd. You have seen -'for yourself the blood red summacha in September. Many years ago a tribe oi Indians had-their camp at the mouth of what is now known as Newhaii’l raâ€" vine. The old chief was high strung and reventetul. He had two children. a son and ’daughter. _ and was proud of both. The. son, however, in some unaccountable way incurred. the old chief's displeasure and was driven from the camp. The daughter who was very fond of her brother. pined and would not be comforted. and after a time the old chiertain discovered that she would slip away from camp and be gone hours at a time. . Try as he might the old chief could not- learn why or where she; went. He kept‘a close watch on her‘ and one mild September night .he was rewarded by seeing her slide out or the camp He followed her Iouth along the lake ‘ahore some dis: tance when she disappeared among the Summachs. Aethe chiet parted the bushes and peered through them he caught eight of his beloved daughter in the embrace of a stal- wart buck wearing the head-dress of another tribe. One glance was enough. The, frenzied chief drew his hatchet. and hrained the Indian Lon the spot, and his 'hlood spatter-ed 1the Summach. The girl, when she realized that her belbved brother (for it was he). was “dead gave a shriek and rushed to the blhit and plunged over. The next morning the sum~ machs which had been a beautithi green the day before had turned to a bright red.
