Kaskaskia

Six days brought the invaders to the Kaskaskia River, three miles above the principal settlement.

Had the British forces immediately pushed on, this same scene might have been repeated at Kaskaskia and Cahokia.

The old parish registers of Kaskaskia are full of records of these mixed marriages.

Sixty miles below St. Louis, the Kaskaskia joins it, after a devious course of 400 miles.

The prairies are rather level, and in places inclined to be wet; the timber, especially along the Kaskaskia, heavy.
