- Abstract
"Inquietus: La Salle in the Illinois Country" by Mark Walczynski is a historically significant and captivating book that covers a ten-year period (1673-1683) in the colonial history of Illinois. The author, a park historian, provides a straightforward and lucid account of the exploration and colonization conducted by La Salle and his associates. The book emphasizes the importance of historical accuracy and avoids Eurocentric triumphalism, offering a respectful perspective on the interactions between Europeans and Native Americans. The Center for French Colonial Studies has published a highly readable and user-friendly text that sheds light on the fascinating history of the upper Illinois River.
