D'Iberville Abstract
(An Abstract of his Memorial on the Country of the Mississippi)
In: Minn. Hist. Soc. Col., Vol. I, 1902, p. 280.
p. 280.
The Illinois having removed we could cause it to be occupied by the Mascoutens and Kikapous. This would bring four hundred and fifty men upon the rivers which empty into the Illinois and Mississippi. They now only hunt the beaver which they sell at the Bay of the Puans (Green Bay) and in the country of the Illinois.
The Miamis who have left the banks of the Mississippi, and gone to Chicago on account of the beaver, and those who are at Ortithipicatony, and at the St. Joseph, could readily remove to the Illinois, where they would join one hundred of their nation who are still at Ouisconsin on the Mississippi.
