He highlights Starved Rock, Creve Coeur, and the 1680s Jesuit mission at Starved Rock, the 1693 chapel, the 1700 transfer to Kaskaskia, and early settlers under Father Hyppolite Mallet and Father Gravier as Illinois settlers and missions shaped by Iroquois wars and pioneer growth.

Father Bear, Mother Bene and three cubs vacation at 8st Creel avenue under Walter Nuegie from Bear Brand Brewery. For six months they toured the country performing stunts for crowds, delighting neighborhood children as they pose in rocking chairs and perform tricks.
