  • NATURAL RESOURCES (Updated Excerpt from Jo Daviess Comprehensive Plan Baseline Data)
    ATTACHMENT F: NATURAL RESOURCES (Updated excerpt from Jo Daviess Comprehensive Plan Baseline Data) The natural resources in Jo Daviess County are unique relative to the rest of the state and much of the mid-west because the county is part of the Wisconsin Driftless Region bypassed by continental glaciers of the Ice Age. This region covers parts of southern Minnesota and Wisconsin, Northwestern Illinois and Northeastern Iowa. Glaciated areas were leveled, strewn with glacial debris or "drift" and dotted with lakes and ponds. The driftless areas, on the other hand, have bedrock close to the surface into which deep valleys have been carved by millions of years of weather and erosion. In Jo Daviess County, streams are numerous and the only two lakes are man-made. The relief from the higher ridges to the valley floors is typically 300 feet or more creating a rugged and scenic landscape. Ecosystems can be found in this landscape that are older than those found in glaciated areas. Geology The topography of Jo Daviess County is characterized by rugged relief unique to most of Illinois. Our county, located in the far northwestern corner of the state, is in an area spared by the major glaciations of the last two million years. It is, accordingly, called the "Driftless Area" by geologists, the term "drift" referring to material deposited by glacial activity. The visible landscape that we see today began during the Paleozoic Era (570 to 245 million years ago) when shallow seas repeatedly inundated the interior of the continent. Shells of marine animals, along with muds, silts and sands from eroding highlands, were periodically deposited in those sea bottoms.

Headquarters 1st Army Corps, North Western Army, Fort Crawford, Prairie de Chien, on Aug 9, 1832 Sir--I informed you on the 5th. Inst by a short official note, of the action on the morning of the 2d inst. between the troops under my command and the Sac enemy, on the bank of the Mississippi, opposite Ioway river.--Having recieved the reports of the officers commanding brigades and corps, I have the honor of reporting more in detail the events of the day. After having pursued the enemy five days by forced marches, from his passage of the Ousconsin, we found ourselves at dusk, on the evening of the 1st inst. after a march of 25 miles, within a few miles of his position…. After marching about three miles, the advance of Dodge's battalion came up with a small party of the enemy, and killed eight of them, and dispersed the residue….The enemy was driven across several slucies down the river bottom, which was covered with fallen timber, underwood and high grass. The regular troops, and Dodge at the head of his batalion, soon came up and joined in the action, followed by a party of Posey's troops, when the enemy was driven still farther through the bottom to several small willow islands successively, where much execution was done… As soon as the enemy were slain or dislodged from the willow bars, the regular troops under Col.

Fifty years in the Northwest http://www.loc.gov/resource/lhbum.01070 Library of Congress At the age of nineteen years, I landed on the banks of the Upper Mississippi, pitching my tent at Prairie du Chien, then (1836) a military post known as Fort Crawford. I kept memoranda of my various changes, and many of the events transpiring. Subsequently, not, however, with any intention of publishing them in book form until 1876, when, reflecting that fifty years spent amidst the early and first white settlements, and continuing till the period of civilization and prosperity, itemized by an observer and participant in the stirring scenes and incidents depicted, might furnish material for an interesting volume, valuable to those who should come after me, I concluded to gather up the items and compile them in a convenient form.

  • The Radziwiłł Cousins, Prophecies and False News in Mid-Seventeenth-Century Europe
    137 WSCHODNI ROCZNIK HUMANISTYCZNY TOM XVII (2020), No 3 s. 137-154 doi: 10.36121/hmazheika.17.2020.3.137 Hanna Mazheika (National Historical Archives of Belarus) ORCID 0000-0001-8989-6875 The Radziwiłł Cousins, Prophecies and False News in Mid-Seventeenth-Century Europe Annotation: The article looks at how false prophecies and misinformation helped to enhance the image of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania as a Protestant state in contradistinction to the Kingdom of Poland, the identity of which was clearly Catholic. The 1650s was the time when the influence of the prophetic imposter Mikuláš Drabík and his visions became particularly pronounced. Moreover, fake news about the destruction of all Polish and Lithuanian Protestant churches found a targeted audience and seemed to have worked as a propagandistic device. This discourse regarding the reasons for the downfall of the Protestant churches in Poland- Lithuania fostered among western Europeans an interest in the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, and gave Janusz and Bogusław Radziwiłł an international reputation of saviours of the true faith, while at home they were vilified as traitors. Keywords: Grand Duchy of Lithuania, Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, the Radziwills, Protestantism, Catholicism, prophecy, 17th century. Братья Радзивиллы, пророчества и фальшивые новости в Европе в середине XVII в. Аннотация: В статье рассматривается, как пророчества и дезинформация помогли укрепить имидж Великого Княжества Литовского как протестантского государства на международной арене в отличие от Королевства Польского, конфессиональная идентичность которого была несомненно католической. 1650-е годы – период, когда «пророчества» Микулаша Драбика стали особенно популярны. Более того, фальшивые новости об уничтожении всех польских и литовских протестантских церквей нашли свою целевую аудиторию и, казалось, работали как удачная пропагандистская уловка.

Others were founded later in the 19th century. For American traders traveling west on the Santa Fe Trail in the 1830s and 1840s, this was one of several entry points into Mexico. The Ar- kansas River to the northeast was the actual border with Mexico, but until Las Vegas was founded in 1835, San Miquel del Vado was the first settlement of any note that travelers encountered. Here customs inspec- tors examined the wagons and levied heavy import taxes, to be paid in Santa Fe, against the goods they carried. Fees were charged according to the number of wagons in a train, so traders hoping to lessen the tax bur- den repacked their goods into fewer wagons before entering San Miguel del Vado. Aware of this, Mexican soldiers joined the trains as far away as Las Ve- gas, twenty-five miles to the east, and under guard, escorted them into the settlement. The Mexican military had been stationed in the area since the 1820s, offering protection from Indians to those Mexican pioneers settling the San Miguel del Vado Spanish land grant.

Sterling, I am greatly indebted to Honorable B. J. Peters, Enoch Smith and James Mof­ ) fett. I also freely used a sketch of Mt. Sterling pub­ lished four years ago by Walter Gruelle; I also obtained many valuable facts from Butler's and Collins' His­ tory of Kentucky. -Thomas Calk allowed me to in­ spect some ancient papers filled with important facts. A sketch in the Courier Journal a year ago supplied me with some pleasing suggestions. The destruction by fire of the early records of the town and county, has deprived me of much valuable material. I feel this sketch is very imperfect and almost unworthy of publication. It may, however, provoke investigation and develop new facts. I trust, at least, it will serve to preserve in the memories of the coming generations what has been gathered up concerning the history of our early days.-R. R.
