The Internet Archive (https://archive.org/).  a"The Story of Old Fort Dearborn" by J. Seymour Currey is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book delves into the history and events surrounding the first Fort Dearborn in Chicago, focusing particularly on the time from its establishment until its destruction in 1812. The narrative likely recounts the experiences of key figures and the challenging conditions faced by the fort's inhabitants, including skirmishes with Native American tribes amidst the broader context of early American history and settlement.  The opening portion of the book introduces Fort Dearborn's historical significance, tracing its roots back to the early explorations of the Chicago River by French explorers Joliet and Marquette. It highlights the fort's establishment in 1803, the various interactions with local Native American tribes, and the complex dynamics as tensions began to rise before the War of 1812. The narrative sets the stage for understanding the relationships between settlers and Indigenous peoples, as well as the pivotal events leading to the fort's tragic fate, capturing the essence of a frontier community during a turbulent period in American history.
