After World War II, Markham's population doubled to 2,753 residents by 1950. In the mid-1930s, the Croissant Park subdivision was built and increased the population from 349 to 1,388. Markham, president of the Illinois Central Railroad 1911–1918, 1919–1926. The village of Markham was incorporated in 1925 with a population under 300. The line still appears on government maps and now includes a short portion of Interstate 57 near the US 6 interchange northwest of Markham. The southern boundary, one of two Indian Treaty Boundary Lines, was surveyed along a line from the Kankakee River to Lake Michigan. In 1816 a treaty was made with the Ottawa, Chippewa and Potawatomi tribes which ceded a corridor of land located between a point north of the Chicago River and the mouth of the Calumet River to the settlers. Markham, southwest of the southern tip of Lake Michigan, had been a crossroad for early pioneers. After countless ages of geologic swamps, marshes and sloughs, the prairies dominated the landscape with groves of trees, flowers, and wildlife in abundance. It is claimed this area was beach 10,000 years ago.
Another criticism concerns the limited assessment of the extant southern Indians in the period 1763-1775. Readers will probably wish that De Vorsey had expended more effort to relate his excellent boundary maps to the textual presentation. The Indian Boundary in the Southern Colonies therefore offers geographers and historians alike a thorough account of the Anglo-Indian boundary settlement as it affected southeastern America following the Seven Years’ War. In each province a frontier separating Indian and English communities was fashioned after a period of negotiations. His work is organized to reveal the post-war relationship of six colonial provinces-Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, East Florida, and West Florida-with such powerful Indian tribes as the Cherokees, Chickasaws, Choctaws, and Creeks. Since the southern boundary passed along the Atlantic and Gulf Coast seaboard to the Mississippi River, De Vorsey presents a settlement by settlement analysis of the Anglo-Indian line that existed after 1763. An unexpected but welcome byproduct of this work is a sound, well-written historical survey of Indian affairs in the South from 1763 to 1775. De Vorsey carefully scrutinizes the origins, arrangements, and ultimate delineation of the southern Indian line in both geographical and historical terms.
The Anglo-Indian boundary in the southern colonies is the subject of this splendid historical geography. An Anglo-Indian boundary therefore necessarily emerged in England’s post-war planning. Since the general security of British America obviously required Indian satisfaction and peace, the Board of Trade employed the Proclamation of 1763 to accommodate the native populations. After 1762-1763 the specter of Pontiac apparently haunted the Whitehall personnel who formulated colonial policy. Initially, this decree was prepared to meet the demands of the American Indians, many of whom were involved in Pontiac’s northern insurrection. The October proclamation also settled a number of long-standing colonial problems in British America. From the cessions of France and Spain the provinces of Canada and East and West Florida were created. The King’s proclamation of 1763 provided the colonial organization for the American territories acquired by England after the Seven Years’ War.
