Publisher's Synopsis
""Tales Of Kankakee Land"" is a collection of short stories written by Charles Henry Bartlett and first published in 1904. The book is set in the Kankakee River Valley of Illinois during the mid-1800s and features a cast of characters who are all connected to the land and its history. The stories are told from the perspective of a narrator who is deeply familiar with the region and its people. The tales in the book cover a range of themes, including love, loss, revenge, and redemption. Some of the stories are based on real-life events, while others are fictional. The characters in the book are diverse, with some being settlers from the East Coast and others being Native Americans who have lived in the area for generations. Throughout the book, Bartlett paints a vivid picture of life in the Kankakee River Valley, with descriptions of the landscape, the wildlife, and the people who inhabit it. The stories are told in a straightforward, unadorned style, with a focus on character and plot rather than flowery language or complex literary devices. Overall, ""Tales Of Kankakee Land"" is a charming and engaging collection of stories that provides a glimpse into a bygone era of American history.
