History of Massac County, Illinois (Classic Reprint) by George W. May PDF Summary

Book Description: Excerpt from History of Massac County, Illinois No county in Egypt, or Southern Illinois, has a more interesting history than Massac. It has played its part under the rule of five distinct peoples. It has held from earliest times a strategic position. Interest in our county history centers around old Fort Massac. It was early visited by the French, and here in 1757 they staged their last struggle for possession of the fairest portion of the New World - Illinois. Probably the most outstanding event that ever happened in Massac County, said the late Roy R. Helm in a memorial address, was when Clark landed on the north bank of the Ohio on June 28, Part of Aaron Burr's conspiracy was planned here. Many other stirring events have occurred in the county and in the adjacent region. Massac has played its part well in the unfolding of the progress of the Nation - through the tide of immigration, the various wars, and the quiet daily tasks of economic life.
