Book Description
Excerpt from Transportation as a Factor in the Development of Northern Illinois Previous to 1860: A Dissertation Submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Arts and Literature in Candidacy for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy; Department of History This settlement and development, however, took place chiefly along the rivers The rest of the country remained for the most part, unpeopled and unimproved. This condition existed because the rivers furnished power for the mills and factories and were the main channels Of commerce. Because, too, of transportation upon them they provided markets for the surplus products Of the soil. Grain was exchanged at these river markets for clothing and articles Of import. There, _ also, wheat was ground into flour and corn into meal. St. Charles on the Fox River, 'buzzing and roaring and rattling with all kinds Of machinery, was likened, in 1845, to the city Of Lowell, Massachusetts Thus almost every pioneer activity was confined to the river districts, which became well settled and well developed, while the prairie remained unin habited and unorganized.
