Old Kaskaskia is a historical novel written by Mary Hartwell Catherwood and published in 1893. The story is set in the early 18th century in the French colony of Illinois, specifically in the town of Kaskaskia. The novel follows the life of a young Frenchman named Jean Baptiste Hamelin, who moves to Kaskaskia to start a new life. Jean Baptiste falls in love with a beautiful young woman named Marie, but their romance is threatened by the arrival of a wealthy and powerful Englishman named George Rogers Clark, who has plans to take over the town. The novel explores the tensions between the French and English settlers in the area, as well as the struggles of the Native American tribes who are caught in the middle of the conflict. Old Kaskaskia is a gripping tale of love, war, and the struggle for power in the early American frontier.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
