As the young wife of the Indian agent John Kinzie, Juliette Kinzie travelled by canoe and horseback to Fort Winnebago at the Portage in Wisconsin in 1830. She records Ho-Chunk neighbours, garrison life, hard journeys to a Chicago of a few log houses, and family stories of the Fort Dearborn massacre, in this edition annotated by Reuben Gold Thwaites.
