Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from History of Lee County, Illinois, Vol. 1
It seems to be true that these tribes were rovers. When in 1673, the Marquette party passed down the Mississippi river, Marquette found the Peoria and Moingwena tribes on the west side, near the mouth of the Des Moines. Two months later he found them on the Illinois river near the present city of Peoria.
