I learned at least two things from William Bigg’s account of his Indian captivity and trek across Illinois through Moultrie County to Indiana in 1788. I learned a new recipe for boiled duck a’ la feather and I learned that a person can be tied so tightly that he might wish he were dead.
Why didn’t they kill him or burn him at the stake like countless other captives had been, including one of Bigg’s own brothers years before?

When searching for directions, the most often used method while driving long distances are the large green road signs, which indicate a location or exit and the distance between the location and the sign. Between Monday, November 18th and Tuesday, November 19th, there were lifts and a large construction crane, replacing the old location signs with new, clean and shiny upgrades. The signs wording hasn’t changed but the quality was massively upgraded with a few signs looking to have minor chipping or storm damage. These signs are mostly seen in very high traffic locations or on highways and interstates to tell the large numbers of traffic which way to go in the easiest way possible.
