“The Illinois Habitant,” writes Natalia Maree Belting, “was a gay soul; he seemed shockingly carefree to later, self-righteous puritans from the American colonies. He danced on Sunday after mass, was passionately attached to faro and half a dozen other card games, and played billiards at all hours. He gossiped long over a friendly pipe and congenial mug of brandy in the half-dusk of his porch or in the noisy tavern.”
First published in 1948, Kaskaskia under the French Regime is a social and economic history of French Kaskaskia from 1703 to 1765. Using a readable, journalistic style, Belting brings to life the prairie terrain, the Kaskaskia mission, early architecture, building methods and materials, the beginnings of government, domestic tools and utensils, commerce, and the social customs of the pioneer.
In 1703, Kaskaskia was little more than a mission station in Illinois territory inhabited by a few French traders, their Indian wives, and a priest. Later in the century, the settlement became a flourishing French village filled with rows of low one-story French-style houses lining the streets. But the unique native and French bonds began when the explorers Louis Joliet and Pierre Marquette discovered a peaceful tribe, the Kaskaskia, while journeying along the Illinois River.
This historic friendship grew into a unique colonial culture, the remnants which can be seen through numerous primary source documents. Belting draws on and translates from eighteenth century French the Kaskaskia Manuscripts, in which French notaries recorded parish marriage contracts, property transactions (including slave sales), and estate inventories. She also examines the papers of the Marquis de Vaudreuil, among them the most complete census ever conducted in French Illinois, which provides a household-by-household enumeration of the population. What results is a comprehensive depiction of the lives and livelihood of French settlers in colonial Illinois.

Review
“Belting’s book is not only full of facts and figures, but is lively and interesting to the ordinary reader. Two factors contribute to this situation: Belting’s journalistic style of writing . . . and the fact that she concentrated on the social and economic history of early Illinois communities under French governance rather than just military and political history.”—Ben Gelman, Southern Illinoisan
“[Belting] lavished attention on her first loves—American Indians and the French colonial settlers in Illinois—and for decades was the unquestioned expert in these fields.”—Carl J. Ekberg, from the Foreword

I purchased this book after I discovered that one of my ancestors was a major player in the French and Indian War. I use this as a reference whenever I go back on my family history research and I find it easier to match up timelines with the book.

A little obscure corner of history comes to life
By Russell T. Warne
I bought this book because I'm interested in my family history and three generations of my ancestors lived in Kaskaskia during the 1700's. It's a scholarly book that's directed at the professional historian, but it has lots of trivia to offer to anyone interested in early Illinois history.
Because it was originally written for a scholarly periodical ("Illinois Studies in the Social Sciences"), the writing is dry. But it does communicate clearly to the reader what life in the frontier town of Kaskaskia was like before the French lost their North American holdings east of the Mississippi.
There are some shortcomings in the book. Although the author pours over a census in the appendix, she never gives us a population estimate of the town at any time in its history. There is also a startling lack of continuity in the history because she just presents events that happen one after another, without linking the people involved in each event to other persons or happenings in the area. At the end of the book you'll have very little idea of who the promiment people in Kaskaskia were or the names of people who did the most to shape the life of the town.
But a handy book if you're family spent a few decades there. Chances are their name will show up at least once.

BEST resource EVER for Kaskaskia!
By Wanda Taylor
Carl Ekberg's foreward finally recognizes the value of some advise he received to: "First of all seek counsel from Natalia Belting". IMHO, no one else has come close to providing the social and economic history of colonial Illinois that is presented by Ms. Belting. And, she gives us the essence of her INVALUABLE SOURCE MATERIALS. As a long time genealogy re/searcher, I am most grateful. Now, after finding her quoted for years on the web, and using her book as my "source", I can thank Shawnee Classics for making it available again! I am finding even more family connections than i had recognized in my previous research efforts.
