Book excerpt: The purpose of this book is to retell the unique stories of human interactions with other humans, and of human interactions with the natural environment, that in a time span of over 11,000 years shaped a crude, overgrown maze of animal paths and Native American trails into Illinois¿ earliest road. These dynamic interactions helped shape the Kaskaskia-Cahokia Trail, for a long time undetected in overgrown meadows, obliterated by plows in farm fields, and buried beneath modern roadways. Originally laid out in 1718, the Kaskaskia-Cahokia Trail was called the King¿s Road after French monarch, Louis XV. Now, 300 years later, the road is still used today in southwestern Illinois. Native American use of the Kaskaskia-Cahokia Trail can be traced to around 11,000 BC. Indian people¿s migrations created the trail for economic trade, government, social and religious purposes. The Indian people, over time, built large civilizations with ceremonial mound cities and satellite villages throughout the alluvial bottomlands. In this region, the Illinois, Missouri, Ohio, Kaskaskia and Meramec rivers converge with the Mississippi, and throughout history provided reliable transportation for exploration, settlement and trade, with overland trails used to access interior lands beyond and between the rivers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Never before has the story of Chicagoland's great southwest side been told in such a sweeping manner. This book contains the only history of the Belt railroad yards, the giant Clearing Industrial District, Midway Airport and many other subjects too numerous to mention in such a short space. More important yet are the stories of the Indians and settlers, the aviators and industrialists and the ordinary people who have made Clearing what it is today. "A Little Known Story of the Land Called Clearing" is the end product of twenty years of research by local author Robert Hill whose grandfather arrived in 1909 and opened the first hardware store in the community. Originally published in a limited quantity in 1983, this treasure trove of local Chicagoland history has been reissued and updated by permission of the Hill family. Now the generations to come will learn the history of a land called Clearing.
