. The Chicago massacre of 1812 : with illustrations and historical documents. flag, pausing, and lookingabout him—what does he see ? A lonely, weedy streamlet flows eastw^ard past the fort, then turns sharp to the right and makes its weak way bya shallow, fordable ripple, over a long sandbar, into thelake, a half mile to the southward. At his feet, on the river bank, stands theUnited States AgencyStorehouse. Across theriver and a little to theeastward is the Kinziehouse, btiilt of squaredlogs by Jean BaptistePointe de Saible nearlyforty years ago, now re-^ paired, enlarged and im-f proved by its owner and^ occupant, John Kinzie.A canoe lies moored tothe bank in front of thehouse; when any of thenumerous Kinzies wishto come to the fort theycan paddle across ; when any one wishes to go over hecan halloo for the canoe. Just west of Kinzies houseis Ouillmettes cabin, and still further that of John Burns.Opposite Burnss place [near South State street] aswampy branch enters the river from the south, and onthe sides of this branch there is a straggling lot of Indian. WILLIAM WELLS. A LONG rAKK.Vi:!, !, . on Wigwams—oniiiioiissiglit ! The iDrlli side of the river isall wooded, except wIktc little garden-patches are clearedaround the human hahitations. The observer may seethe forks of the stream a half-mile to the westward, huthe cannot trace its branches, either River (.uarie, tothe north, or Tortaj^e River, to the south, for the treeshide them. Near him, to the west and south, sandy flats, grassy marshes and general desolation are all that he cansec. (Will that barren waste ever be worth a dollar anacre?) Beyond, out of sight, past the bend of the vSoutliBranch, is Lees place, with its fresh blood-stains and itstwo grassless graves. And so his eye wanders on, across the sandy flat, acrossthe Indian trail, leading west of south, and the lake-shoretrail which he himselfcame over, and finallyrests with relief on thelake itself, the dancingblue water and the skythat covers it.
