For the period of the war between England and America, Henry Adams’ _History of the United States, 1800–1817_ (9 vols.), is the authority. T. Roosevelt in his _The Winning of the West, 1777–1807_ (5 vols.), gives his fifth volume to _St. Clair and Wayne_. There are three standard works on the naval part of the war, J. Barnes’ _Naval Actions of the War of 1812_, Roosevelt’s _The Naval War of 1812_, and A. T. Mahan’s _Sea Power in its Relations to the War of 1812_ (2 vols.). There are many contemporary accounts of the battles and defences of the leading participants, such as _The Defence of Brigadier-General Hull Written by Himself_, 1814. Three leading documents of the Chicago massacre are the _Narrative of the Massacre at Chicago, 1844_, supposed to be the Kinzie account, _The Chicago Massacre in 1812_, which is the Heald account, written at a much later date by Joseph Kirkland, and an anonymous document in the _Michigan Pioneer and Historical Collections_, viii, 648–652. The Black Hawk War is treated in all histories of the time. The material about Black Hawk himself is gathered from B. Drake’s _Life and Adventures of Black Hawk_ (7th ed., 1846), _Life of Black Hawk, Dictated by Himself_, 1834, and S. G. Drake’s _Book of the Indians_ (8th ed., 1841), which has also accounts of Pontiac and Tecumseh. R. G. Thwaites’ _How George Rogers Clark Won the Northwest_, has an essay on the Black Hawk War, as well as other interesting essays on this period. Randall Parrish’s _Historic Illinois_ should be mentioned in this connection as the best book of its kind on this whole region, with a clear account of the events that took place in Illinois and a graphic picture of pioneer conditions. The biographies of Cass and Wayne are valuable. The two contemporary books on Cass are W. L. G. Smith’s _The Life and Times of Lewis Cass_, and W. T. Young’s _Life and Public Services of Lewis Cass_. A. C. McLaughlin has written a good biography with the title, _Lewis Cass_, for the American Statesman Series. John R. Spears is the author of a biography of _Anthony Wayne_, 1903. PART III. _Occupation and Development_ The bibliography of this section would include all that has come before, and much from pamphlets, historical society publications, local histories, and records of anniversary celebrations, which would make too long a list of sources. There are no general works on this phase of the life of the Great Lakes. Archer B. Hulbert’s _Historic Highways of America_ (16 vols.) contains much that is of interest about roads to the lakes, especially in volumes 1, 2, 7, 8, 11, 12, and 14. J. F. Rhodes’ _History of the United States from the Compromise of 1850_ (7 vols.) has in its earlier volumes valuable references and accounts of happenings in its period. In general, however, one must turn to the local records and state histories.
