# Pere Marquette
STATE PARK AND CONSERVATION AREA

1

The hub of park activities is the rustic lodge

Sprawling picturesque Pere Marquette State Park and Conservation Area, located on the bluffs overlooking the gentle flowing Illinois river, offers many diversified forms of recreation and abounds in scenic beauty. The 5180 acre area is in Jersey county five miles west of Grafton on Illinois route 100 and approximately 19 miles west and north of Alton via the scenic Great River Road.

The park was named in memory of Father Jacques Marquette, the French Jesuit missionary priest, who in 1673 along with explorer Louis Jolliet were the first white men to enter what is now the State of Illinois at the confluence of the Mighty Mississippi and the Illinois rivers. A large white cross, east of the park entrance alongside route 100, marks where these two famous men landed.

The park with its 2605.90 acres and the conservation area consisting of 2574 acres were acquired by the state in 1932. The two areas adjoin each other. Across the Illinois river to the south and west is the Federal Wild Life Refuge of more than 8,000 acres.

### BEAUTIFUL LODGE

Long popular and much used is the massive Pere Marquette Lodge built of colorful native stone and rustic timbers, and the seven stone guest houses back of it, nestling into the hillside. The guest houses with 29 rooms and the lodge with 18 rooms are all heated, completely air-conditioned, and each have televisions. The spacious dining room has maintained a continued reputation for exceptionally good food and gracious hospitality which spills over to the large lounge with a huge 700 ton stone fireplace, furnishing the ideal spot for old-fashioned corn popping or just plain loafing. There are also many outdoor activities including a swimming pool (open May 15 through September 15), a five-hole, par three, golf course, shuffleboard and horseshoe courts for lodge guests. Room or dining reservations should be made with the Pere Marquette Lodge management, Grafton, Illinois (A.C. 618—Grafton 786-3351).

### RECREATION AT ITS BEST

The recreational facilities of the park are many and varied ranging from camping to hiking the many miles of foot trails, boating and fishing, picnicking or horseback riding the bridle paths, or viewing the many scenic wonders from the overlooks atop the bluffs. It’s family recreation at its best!

Camping is popular and in addition to primitive sites, the park affords trailer sites with electricity, shower baths, and flush toilets. Camping permits must be secured from the park ranger who will assign you a camping site. There are ample picnic areas with good shade, pure water, and picnic tables at designated areas. No open fires are permitted and no cooking can be done except on a park or camp stove. Playground equipment is provided for the children.

If you are a nature lover and wish to commune with nature, the park provides miles of foot trails. From April to October, a part-time naturalist is available for scheduled trips on the nature trails. At the beginning of the trail you will find a nature museum with excellent exhibits pertaining to animal and plant life, archaeology and geology of the park. The vast network of foot trails with scattered shelters, lead you to McAdams Peak where Dr. McAdams recovered 125 Indian skeletons, Quitt Point the highest point in the park or other popular overlooks. During the early spring the park abounds with the added beauty of white blossoming wild dogwood and redbud trees.

The modern new boat docks provide dockage for privately owned craft. The convenient concession stand has row boats for rent and arranges for scenic or speedboat rides. Fishing is an extremely popular pastime and the angler has the opportunity of catching a variety of fish from the waters of the Illinois.

### BRIDLE PATHS

Horseback riding over the 14 miles of bridle paths is another recreational feature of the park. A stable with good mounts is located within the park near the entrance.

Located in the Conservation Area, the organized youth group camping area is equipped with kitchens, mess halls, and swimming pools. These three areas, Camp Piasa, Camp Quatoga, and Camp Potawatomi are extensively used during the summer months and can accommodate approximately 365 youths. Reservations for the use of these facilities are made with the Division of Parks and Memorials, 100 State Office Building, Springfield 62706.

## EARLY HISTORY OF PARK AREA

Cross marks site where Marquette and Jolliet entered Illinois in 1673

In Pere Marquette State Park there are 18 sites indicating occupation by prehistoric Americans and a village once located where the lodge now stands. It is believed that men, nomadic hunters and fishers, appeared in the Illinois valley possibly about the beginning of the Christian Era. Later stone age peoples by 900 A. D. made large leaf-shaped arrowheads and coarse, heavy pottery. By 1300 A. D. trade had developed and at Cahokia resulted in village-states. These peoples made small, finely-chipped arrowheads, pottery with handles and a variety of wares and cultivated corn, squash and beans.

When the French came to this region, the Illinois, Potawatomie and Kickapoo Indians were little removed from their ancestors whose cemeteries, burial mounds, house and village sites dotted the Illinois Valley as at the park.

Louis Jolliet and Father Jacques Marquette were sent by the French government over the Wisconsin portage, in the spring of 1673, to explore the Mississippi River for a passage to the Pacific Ocean. They coursed as far as the Arkansas River where they turned back and in September entered the Illinois River. The Marquette Monument, a large stone cross, alongside Route 100, commemorates this event as the recorded entrance of white men into Illinois.

Robert Cavilier, sieur de La Salle appeared shortly to govern and develop the region. His unbounded energy earned him the name “Prince of Explorers.”

He built Fort Creve Coeur near Peoria, now a state park, and in the spring of 1680 sent Father Louis Hennepin down the Illinois River to explore the upper Mississippi. Hennepin and his party spent five days at or across from the present lodge, waiting for the ice to go out of the Mississippi. On March 12, the expedition turned up the mighty Father of Waters. The Iroquois Indians invaded the Illinois valley that spring and mutinous soldiers destroyed Fort Creve Coeur as La Salle hiked to Montreal.

### INDIAN CRUELTIES

Learning of the wrecking of his enterprise, La Salle hurried to the Illinois valley to search for his companions, arriving at Pere Marquette State Park by canoe on December 7, 1680. On the north bank of the Illinois River he viewed the fury of the Iroquois, for here were Illinois women and children tortured to death by fire, impaled on poles.

Having found no trace of Frenchmen, he stripped the bark from the trunk of a tree, hung a board with a drawing of his party in a canoe, tied a letter to Tonti, his trusted lieutenant, to the board directing him to a cache of supplies hidden nearby.

4

On December 7, 1681, La Salle with a party of 22 Frenchmen, reunited with Tonti, rendezvoused with 18 Indians at the mouth of the Illinois River. This party remained 12 days building elm bark canoes for the long trip down the Mississippi. Three months later La Salle stood at the mouth of the river and claimed the Mississippi valley for France, naming it “Louisiana.”

### TONTI SUCCEEDS LA SALLE

La Salle’s successor in the Illinois country was Henri Tonti, an Italian in the French army. He had lost a hand in some battle, for which he substituted an iron one, which so impressed the Indians that he became famed as the man with the Iron Hand.

He served as guide to the Seminary Fathers who founded Cahokia, today the oldest permanent settlement in the Mississippi valley. This party stopped overnight at the mouth of the Illinois River on December 5, 1698.

In 1717 the Regent of France was influenced by John Law, a Scottish land speculator, to draw a line from the mouth of the Illinois River, extended east, which created New France (Canada) to the north and Louisiana to the south. Law’s scheme to colonize Louisiana waxed until 1720 when the “Mississippi Bubble” burst, nearly wrecking France.

On October 9, 1721, Pierre Francois de Charlevoix, a Jesuit college professor, sent by Louis XV’s Regent to search for the still undiscovered route to the Pacific Ocean passed this way. “For at this place,” he wrote in polished prose, “The River of the Illinois changes its course.... One might say, out of regret to its being obliged to pay the tribute of its waters to another river, it endeavors to return back to its source.”

### A VITAL WATER ROUTE

The fur trade, flourishing with the Indians as middlemen, centered on the strategic Illinois waterway. The Indians controlled the region from the Fox War of the 1730’s through the French and Indian War of the 1760’s, the French having possession in name only.

When the British took hold in 1763, illegal fur trading began from the newly founded St. Louis, Calhoun Point being the place of crossing. Otter, beaver, wolf, deer and martin are the peltry mentioned as abounding from the mouth of the Illinois north.

By the Treaty of Greenville, Ohio, in August, 1795, the Indians ceded a twelve square mile tract at the mouth of the Illinois River, including free passage of the waterway.

In 1811 trouble with Indians saw the building of a blockhouse near the mouth of the Illinois River and another at the present Meppen, across the river from Goat Cliff.

Major Stephan H. Long in September, 1816, went by keelboat from St. Louis to Peoria with two soldiers and an interpreter, Francis Le Clair, the founder of Davenport, Iowa. This survey party returned overland south and west, reaching the Illinois River via the low ridge east of Quitt Point and Deerlick Hollow.

The autumn of 1818 found Gurdon S. Hubbard as a clerk on a bateau as an agent of Astor’s American Fur Company. Hubbard, only 18, tells of the party passing Pere Marquette State Park singing Canadian boat songs and spending the night of November 5 at the mouth of the Illinois, bound for St. Louis. This party returned in the first week of December as Illinois was accepted into the Union. Hubbard became a legendary figure in Illinois, living a full and adventurous life in the Illinois fur trade.

### SETTLERS ARMY VETERANS

Five veterans of the regular army were the first settlers in this region this same year. One of these, David Gilbert, 5 settled on the bank of the lake now bearing his family name. George Finney, another veteran, platted the village of Camden in February, 1821, in the valley now bearing that name at the mouth of the Illinois river.

Corner of interesting nature museum

James Mason entered land in 1830 just to the east of Camden to establish a ferry to facilitate trade with St. Louis. Late in April, 1831, a flatboat drifted past here, manned by four men from the Sangamon country, bound for the New Orleans market. One of the crew, 22-year-old Abraham Lincoln, was to be indelibly impressed by the slave market at New Orleans.

Mason built a home on his land, founding Grafton in 1836. An earth wharf was built, becoming known as Mason’s Landing. In 1837 the town of Hartford was platted where the Pere Marquette lodge now stands. The church and school bearing this name are the sole reminders of this development today. The flood of 1844 wrecked Grafton and business shifted east to Alton.

When the Illinois and Michigan canal was opened in 1848 Mason’s Landing became a wood and coal center for the river traffic. Corded wood came from the surrounding forests and coal was kept in 2½ bushel boxes to maintain the steamboats. Large rafts of pine logs and lumber from Wisconsin appeared on the Mississippi River each spring, were caught at Grafton, and held backed up on the Illinois River, until needed farther down stream.

Quarrying began in 1857, and the old Lindell Hotel in St. Louis, and the piers of the Meredosia and Hannibal railroad bridges were built of Grafton stone. The Underground Railroad was a well kept secret of the period in Grafton, Calhoun Point being the rendezvous for escaped slaves.

### AGE OF DINOSAURS

The park bluffs command the first attention of the visitor. The four prominent hollows one views are ravines cut into an elevated plain. About 200 million years ago, what is now Illinois, was lifted from the sea for the last time and the age of the lizards followed. As the giant dinosaurs flourished, this region was the scene of earth movements that resulted in a dislocation of the rocks, producing the Lincoln Fold.

Thus it happens that one is now in the eastern end of the Lincoln Hills which extend 30 miles from Lincoln County, Missouri, into Jersey County, Illinois. To the north the bedrock was uplifted 50 feet per mile, and pulled down steeply hundreds of feet to the south. At Pere Marquette State Park the Illinois River has cut a section through these folded beds. Rocks dipping at 45 degrees are plainly visible at two places along the foot trail and bridle path to Twin Springs. Here one can climb the Lincoln Fold just to the north of the Nature Museum on the foot trail to Goat Cliff.

### FOSSILS REFLECT HISTORY

The life of those times, preserved as fossils, reveal the development of the higher invertebrates, then the fishes, and finally land animals and plants. At the foot of McAdams Peak, Twin Springs flows from Ordovician-Silurian rocks, deposited in the sea 350 million years ago. All the ridges are mantled with loess (pronounced “less”), wind blown dust laid down a million years ago at the time of the Great Ice Age. The vertical banks of yellow clay seen along the road to the upper areas are composed of this material, capped by the black topsoil that supports the present forest.

More than 60 species of trees have been listed; Pecans, Red Cedars and Butternuts being notable. Spring comes with the flowering of the Shadbush; Redbud and Wild Plum are succeeded by the even more lovely Dogwood. Flowers abound, and later berries light up dark places, and mosses, ferns and lichens, form an agreeable ensemble. Mushrooms are conspicuous for their number. With autumn the woods are a never-to-be-forgotten blaze of color.

### MANY ANIMALS HERE

The varied habitats support a vast and unusual assemblage of animals. Fish, as only the Illinois valley knows them, fatten in the waterways. All four species of lizards known in Illinois scamper over the lichen-covered rocks. The whole series of fur-bearing animals now left in Illinois are here to be seen. It may be that in these endless acres that a Whitetail Deer or Wildcat still lingers, certainly an occasional Coyote and the re-introduced Beaver.

Hundreds of species of birds, especially in time of migration, can be seen and studied to great advantage. The Mockingbird sings all day; the woods ring with the calls of Thrush, Wren and Towhee, and the fields echo with Meadow Lark and native sparrow songs. Vireo, Oriole and Cardinal are everywhere. Hawks, Vultures, and the symbol of the United States, the Bald Eagle, soar over McAdams Peak. Osprey, Herons, Bitterns, Cormorants, Grebes and Loons are about the water. Even Pelicans and Ibises appear in the summer. Especially in migration, Ducks, Geese, Gulls, and all the tribe of Sandpiper, Plover, Snipe, Cranes and Swans on very rare occasions. All these and many others frequent this part of the Mississippi Flyway, the migratory highway of central North America. This was the Indian’s happy hunting ground, now an American paradise in perpetuity.

    1.F.

    1.F.1. Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable
    effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread
    works not protected by U.S. copyright law in creating the Project
    Gutenberg-tm collection. Despite these efforts, Project Gutenberg-tm
    electronic works, and the medium on which they may be stored, may
    contain "Defects," such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate
    or corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other
    intellectual property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or
    other medium, a computer virus, or computer codes that damage or
    cannot be read by your equipment.

    1.F.2. LIMITED WARRANTY, DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES - Except for the "Right
    of Replacement or Refund" described in paragraph 1.F.3, the Project
    Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, the owner of the Project
    Gutenberg-tm trademark, and any other party distributing a Project
    Gutenberg-tm electronic work under this agreement, disclaim all
    liability to you for damages, costs and expenses, including legal
    fees. YOU AGREE THAT YOU HAVE NO REMEDIES FOR NEGLIGENCE, STRICT
    LIABILITY, BREACH OF WARRANTY OR BREACH OF CONTRACT EXCEPT THOSE
    PROVIDED IN PARAGRAPH 1.F.3. YOU AGREE THAT THE FOUNDATION, THE
    TRADEMARK OWNER, AND ANY DISTRIBUTOR UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL NOT BE
    LIABLE TO YOU FOR ACTUAL, DIRECT, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR

    DAMAGE.

    defect in this electronic work within 90 days of receiving it, you can
    receive a refund of the money (if any) you paid for it by sending a
    written explanation to the person you received the work from. If you
    received the work on a physical medium, you must return the medium
    with your written explanation. The person or entity that provided you
    with the defective work may elect to provide a replacement copy in
    lieu of a refund. If you received the work electronically, the person
    or entity providing it to you may choose to give you a second
    opportunity to receive the work electronically in lieu of a refund. If
    the second copy is also defective, you may demand a refund in writing
    without further opportunities to fix the problem.

    1.F.5. Some states do not allow disclaimers of certain implied
    warranties or the exclusion or limitation of certain types of
    damages. If any disclaimer or limitation set forth in this agreement
    violates the law of the state applicable to this agreement, the
    agreement shall be interpreted to make the maximum disclaimer or
    limitation permitted by the applicable state law. The invalidity or
    unenforceability of any provision of this agreement shall not void the
    remaining provisions.

    1.F.6. INDEMNITY - You agree to indemnify and hold the Foundation, the
    trademark owner, any agent or employee of the Foundation, anyone
    providing copies of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works in
    accordance with this agreement, and any volunteers associated with the
    production, promotion and distribution of Project Gutenberg-tm
    electronic works, harmless from all liability, costs and expenses,
    including legal fees, that arise directly or indirectly from any of
    the following which you do or cause to occur: (a) distribution of this
    or any Project Gutenberg-tm work, (b) alteration, modification, or
    additions or deletions to any Project Gutenberg-tm work, and (c) any
    Defect you cause.

    Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm

    Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
    electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of
    computers including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It
    exists because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations
    from people in all walks of life.

    Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
    assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
    goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
    remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project
    Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
    and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future
    generations. To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary
    Archive Foundation and how your efforts and donations can help, see
    Sections 3 and 4 and the Foundation information page at
    www.gutenberg.org Section 3. Information about the Project Gutenberg

    Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
    Literary Archive Foundation

    Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
    spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
    increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
    freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
    array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations
    ($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
    status with the IRS.

    The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
    charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
    States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
    considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
    with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations
    where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To SEND
    DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any particular
    state visit www.gutenberg.org/donate

    While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
    have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
    against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
    approach us with offers to donate.

    International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
    any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
    outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.

    Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
    methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other
    ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. To
    donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.org/donate

    Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works.

    Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project
    Gutenberg-tm concept of a library of electronic works that could be
    freely shared with anyone. For forty years, he produced and
    distributed Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of
    volunteer support.

    Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
    editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by copyright in
    the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not
    necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper
    edition.

    Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search
    facility: www.gutenberg.org

    This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
    including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
    Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
    subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
