Boyer

 

Valentine A. Boyer

17" x 20.5" (map)

8.5" x 14" (letter photocopy)

Hand-drawn map of a fort next to the Ausagaunashkee (Saganashkee) Swamp, in Palos Park, with accompanying photocopy of letter explaining map.

Map marks Ausagaunashkee Swamp, Stony Island, rivers and streams, timber, section lines. Drawn in red are the fort, Sag Trail, swamp crossing, and a few other features.

In the letter, Boyer says he first saw the fort in 1833 but has never found a historical account of it and does not know who built it, though he speculates it may have been "Old French explorers" two centuries earlier. The letter includes a numbered key to the map. Boyer says he traced the map from original U.S. surveys (pre-1836), with additions of his own, including the fort and swamp crossing.
