From Des Plaines History Center
The Battle of Fort Dearborn took place in August 1812, as 94 settlers evacuated from Fort Dearborn and were attacked by the local Potawatomi. Historian Ann Keating tells a story not only of military conquest but of the lives of people on all sides of the conflict. She highlights such figures as Jean Baptiste Point de Sable and John Kinzie and demonstrates that early Chicago was a place of cross-cultural reliance among the French, the Americans, and the Native Americans.
