Proud City of Kaskaskia Fades as Mississippi Surges
The ancient capital Kaskaskia, once a thriving early Illinois metropolis, is now largely erased by the Mississippi floods. Records note the post office closed, the river swallowing streets and buildings, and only the Randolph county courthouse and select relics remain as memories of a former political and trading center. The bell, church, and early constitution relics endure in the church of the Immaculate Conception, with legends of a tragic love, an Indian lover, and a dueling death shaping local folklore.

Ethnological experts describe arranged marriages among Australian tribes where women are betrothed in infancy by elder men without female input. Some cases force girls to wed much older men, sparking fights, and in coast districts a betrothal to a fisherman can cost the bride the first joint of her left little finger. A unique marriage license exists where a knotted string from the chief grants freedom to choose a wife.
