| 520 | _a"Old Fort Chartres on the Mississippi River" by John T. Faris et al. is a historical account published in the mid-20th century, specifically in 1955. The book narrates the history and significance of Fort Chartres, an important French fort originally built in the early 18th century along the Mississippi River in Illinois. It explores the fort's role in colonial French America, particularly its interactions with local Native American tribes and the events leading to its decline. The narrative focuses on the establishment of Fort Chartres, detailing its construction, the introduction of slavery, and its purpose as a protective outpost against rival colonial powers. It recounts various military expeditions conducted from the fort, including clashes with the Chickasaw Indians, and describes the fort's architectural features and challenges posed by the Mississippi River. Eventually, the fort succumbed to floods and neglect, leading to its abandonment by the mid-18th century. The book also highlights the efforts made in the 20th century to preserve the remnants of the fort as a historical site, reflecting on its legacy as a symbol of early American frontier life.
