Excerpt from Past and Present of Appanoose County Iowa, Vol. 1: A Record of Settlement, Organization, Progress and Achievement About this time, the French government had determined to extend the domin ion Of France to the extreme western borders Of Canada. Nicholas Perrot was sent as the agent Of the government to propose a grand council Of the Indian nations, at St. Mary's.

Excerpt from The History of Appanoose County, Iowa: Containing a History of the County, Its Cities, Towns, &C., A Biographical Directory of Citizens, War Record of Its Volunteers in the Late Rebellion, General and Local Statistics, Portraits of Early Settlers and Prominent Men Ess than half a century has rolled into eternity since the Indian title to any portion of the soil of Iowa was extinguished, and the Black Hawk Purchase permitted the resistless tide of emigration westward to flow across the Mississippi; and only thirty-three years ago the Sac and Fox Indians reluctantly left their beautiful hunting-grounds, a por tion of which was the southern part of Appanoose County. Only forty years have elapsed since the adventurous kirby and wells built the first rude cabins in the southern part of the county, followed a few years after by the brave and hardy pioneers who settled in the edges of the beautiful groves that deck the expanses of' prairie within its borders, But these fleeting years have been replete with eventful changes - of history that it has been the purpose of this work to gather, arrange and preserve for transmission to posterity as one of the almost countless chapters in the annals of this great country.
