From the April 25th Morton (Il) Times News "1812 is topic of discussion."
Well. too late, missed it by now. But, the Illinois History Symposium was held April 26 to 28th at the Embassy Suites in East Peoria.
In 1812, Illinois was still a territory with fewer than 10,000 settlers located mostly along the Mississippi, Ohio and Wabash rivers. The rest of the state was home to Native-Americans. The War of 1812 proved to be their last stand.
More than 30 presentations were scheduled.
