Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from History of Vermilion County Illinois, Vol. 1: A Tale of Its Evolution, Settlement, and Progress for Nearly a Century Vermilion County, as such, has been known less than a hundred years. The territory now known as Vermilion County had been recognized by the civilized world as a part of variously named lands for a century and a half previous to its organization as a county of the great state of Illinois. First it was as a part of the "Country of the Illini," or maybe the Valley of the Oubache; then, successively as the Illinois Country, New France, the British Domain, the Illinois County of Virginia, the Northwest Territory, the Indiana Territory, the Illinois Territory and at last, as a county of the state of Illinois. Each name involves a different story, and although permanent occupation by the white man did not begin until after it became a part of the state of Illinois, yet the beginning of the history of Vermilion County, must be sought in the beginning of the history of the territory of which it is a part. The account of the beginning of any section of the United States, east of the Alleghany Mountains is sought in the founding of Jamestown, the landing of the Pilgrims at Plymouth Rock, the discovery of the great river by Henry Hudson, or, it may be, the building of old St. Augustine.
