John Reynolds was born February 26, 1788, in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania. His parents were Irish Protestants who emigrated to the United States in 1785. When John was six months old, he and his parents traveled further west and made their home at the bottom of the Copper Ridge Mountain in Tennessee.
In 1800, after several destructive Indian attacks, the Reynolds family moved to Kaskaskia, Illinois. They had originally intended to live in Missouri. But, because of the predominance of Catholics west of the Mississippi River, the Reynoldses settled in Kaskaskia, located east of the Mississippi River.
Preface
MY friends will think it strange that I have written a book,
no matter how small or unpretending it may be. Having the
control of my time and actions, it was a very pleasant occupa-
tion to employ some of my leisure hours to write, in my hum-
ble manner, "The Pioneer History of Illinois." Time is rap-
idly sweeping off from the scene of action the pioneers of our
country; and even the recollection of their actions will soon
be forgotten, if no attempt is made to perpetuate the history
of this worthy and noble race of men.
The pioneers suffered, without a murmur, all the privations
and difficulties in the early settlement of the country; and by
their energy, bravery, and sound practical sense, the country
we now enjoy, with all the comforts and blessings of civilized
life, they reclaimed from a wilderness infested with hostile sav-
ages and wild beasts.
It is a story of these pioneers, French, British, and Amer-
icans, in their discovery and early settlement of Illinois, that I
now attempt to narrate. Moreover, I know of no work, of
this character, that is confined solely to the discovery and
early settlement of Illinois, but the present unpretending one,
which is now presented to the public. This was some induce-
ment to the task. I hope my humble performance may please
and interest the reader, as it has done the writer.
