text_original: Things began to happen in Kaskaskia. It would have been strange indeed if things had not happened. One hundred and seventy five men had marched into that territory out of which now are carved the great states of Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois, and to most of them the thing was a picnic, a jaunt which would soon be finished. Many had left families in the frontier forts without protection. The time of their enlistment had almost expired.
