In the 17th and 18th centuries Native Americans, the French, British and Americans met along the shores of Lake Michigan. The Chicago Public Library holds a number of sources about this dynamic period. Some of these works are secondary sources, while others are primary sources. Explore the selections from books at the Library reproduced here on the web pages of the Chicago Metro History Fair: Exploration, Encounter, Exchange in Chicago History.
