Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This volume is the first in a new series of the Illinois Historical Collections, focusing on the period of Virginia rule in the territory. The author presents a picture of life in Illinois during the American Revolution, when the French villages were caught between the competing interests of the British and Americans. The author draws on various sources, including census data, legal records, and personal correspondence, to paint a vivid picture of the social, economic, and political conditions of the time. The book explores the tensions between the French inhabitants and the American frontiersmen, as well as the role of the British government in managing the region. Through a careful examination of primary source material, the author challenges some previous interpretations of the period and offers new insights into the complex dynamics of this chapter in Illinois history.
