The Chicago Massacre of 1812: With Illustrations and Historical Documents
Kirkland, Joseph
Chicago (Ill.) -- History; Fort Dearborn Massacre, Chicago, Ill., 1812
The group stands on the scene of the fight, just one hundred and
twenty feet east of the "Massacre tree" spoken of in chapter VII, and
earlier in this appendix. Its position is admirable in the artistic
point of view as well as in the historical, for it occupies the eastern
extremity of Eighteenth Street and the northern of Calumet Avenue;
separated from Lake Michigan only by the right of way of the Illinois
Central railway. The hillocks which shielded the Indians in making
their attack have been leveled down, but their sandy base forms an
admirable foundation for the massive pedestal, which may well keep its
place, unmoved, for a thousand years.
