Kaskaskia records, 1778-1790

By Clarence Walworth Alvord

Subjects: Revolutionary War, History, Archives, Public records, Sources, Archives and libraries, Archival resources

Description: Like the book Cahokia Records, 1778-1790, this volume is from the series “Collections of the Illinois State Historical Library”. This book follows a different plan from that one, however. This has only a very brief introductory chapter, and the remainder of the book consists of chapters on fairly specific topics, telling the stories of those topics through the use of documents. All documents that were originally in French appear in the original, followed by English translations.
