Joy Monument, Alton, Illinois.
96. The city of Chicago was incorporated in 1837 and William B. Ogden was elected the first mayor. A short time previous to this, the Pottowatomie band consisting of over five thousand, visited Chicago for the last time and found substantial buildings where the grass had grown for ages. This war-like band had already made a treaty to go west of the Missouri, and now fully realized that they must take up the lot of the exile. They engaged in a mimic war-dance, then... silently and sadly took their departure for the unknown west.
97. The Great Northern Cross Railroad which ILLINOIS 55 had been planned to run from Springfield to Quincy (see 94), was completed from Springfield to Mere- dosia, a distance of about twenty-five miles. An en- gine was brought from Pittsburg and put on it No- vember 8th, 1838. This was the first in the state.
98. Thomas Carlin was inaugurated governor December 7th, 1838. He became alarmed at the financial difficulties confronting the State and, follow- ing the example of his illustrious predecessor, he "about-faced" and counselled economy.
