Description
Drawing on research from a variety of academic fields, such as archaeology, history, botany, ecology, and physical science, M.
J.
Morgan explores the intersection of people and the environment in early eighteenth-century Illinois Country–a stretch of fecund, alluvial river plain along the Mississippi river.
Arguing against the traditional narrative that describes Illinois as an untouched wilderness until the influx of American settlers, Morgan illustrates how the story began much earlier.
