- Summary:
- "In the heart of France's North American empire, the village of Kaskaskia was a community of French-Canadian fur traders and Kaskaskia Indians who not only lived together but often intermarried. These Indigenous and French intermarriages were central to colonial Illinois society, and the coupling of Marguerite 8assecam8c8e (Dawn's Light Woman) and Nicolas Franchomme, in particular, was critical to expanding the jurisdiction of French law"-- Provided by publisher.
