While we know our northern friends may not feel it, in the South, Spring is
here. So we thought we'd share a few of our gardening sites appropriate
for this time of the year. Along with gardening, there's grilling, and getting
ready to diet so that you can fit back into that bathing suit this summer!

Sketch of Chicago in 1820
From Schoolcraft, Indian Tribes, Vol. IV
This leaflet, prepared by Assistant Curator Strong, is based on the material collected by Mr. Chandler and on information supplied by him. The author has likewise utilized the existing literature and an unpublished document in manuscript written by De Gannes
in 1721.
May this booklet appeal to all those who are in sympathy with the Indians
and eager to learn of the past of our country, and may it stimulate
interest and research in our local history and archaeology!
B. LAUFER,
Curator of Anthropology.
