FOREWORD BY HAZEL F. PRATT:
    The fact that no mention is made of Clarence Cannon, or his immediate 

family, in this history is characteristic of the modesty of this great man.

    Mr. Cannon's book was truly a labor of love. He loved Elsberry,

and Elsberrians are fortunate to have such a thorough, scholarly history

of their community. No other community in this area has been blessed

by having its history recorded by such a distinguished author.

    As Chairman of the Committee on Appropriations of the U. S. House

of Representatives, Congressman Cannon was a man of considerable

power and influence in these United States. He could have elected to make

Elsberry a "Boom Town" however, he felt we would not benefit by over-

crowded schools, higher tax assessments, quantity as opposed to quality

in its population, immorality which breeds with rapid growth as opposed

to virtue. Since the closing paragraph was written in 1955, the winds of

change have blown through the town, and Elsberrians have been affected

by all these events. Only by the grace of God do they still have quality

and virtue in their citizenry - those things which Clarence Cannon most

aspired to preserve.

    The Bicentennial Committee would like to take this opportunity to

thank the Cannon Family for their gracious consent to reprint Congress-

man Cannon's book as part of this Nation's 200th birthday celebration.

                          HISTORY OF ELSBERRY
    The first white men ever to have an opportunity to view the site of

Elsberry were the explorers Father Marquette and Louis Joliet (for

whom Joliet, Illinois is named). With five French voyageurs they came

down the Mississippi River from Canada in two birch bark canoes hop-

ing to find the great river emptying into the Pacific Ocean, the passage

to India for which Columbus was looking in 1492. To their disappoint-

ment they found it emptied into the Gulf of Mexico instead of the Bay of

Sacremento.

    Late in June, 1673 they skirted the banks opposite Elsberry and a day

or two later discovered the mouth of the Missouri River, discharging

a vast torrent of muddy water and uprooted trees into the placid waters

of the Mississippi. A statue of the great Jesuit priest in polished marble

stands today in the Hall of Fame in the Capitol at Washington, the gift

of the State of Wisconsin to the nation.

    Later hunters and trappers came through the Elsberry country from

time to time but permanent settlers did not arrive until after the Revolu-

tion. Most of those drifted on down to Saint Charles or Saint Louis and

the few hardy pioneers who built cabins were driven out by Black Hawk

and his Indian allies prior to the close of the War of 1812.
INDIAN ABORIGINES
    The local tribes were the Sauk (Sac) and Fox Indians, members of

the Algonquin family. They were part of the confederacy organized by

Tecumseh and his brother, "The Prophet", at the great Indian con-

clave, June 26, 1812 and their chiefs, with the representatives of ten

other allied tribes, signed the famous treaty with the United States

Commissioners at Portage des Souix in Saint Charles County, of which

Lincoln County was then a part, in 1816.

    They were a nomadic people and moved their teepees from place

to place as the seasons, pastures, and hunting grounds called them.

They inhabited the bluffs along the streams and descended into the bot-

tom lands only to hunt and fish and when the land was first cleared and

cultivated by the early settlers their artifacts were found in abundance.

For many years a profusion of flint arrow points, knives and granite

axes left by them and their predecessors, the mound builders, appear-

ed in the plowed grounds adjacent to Elsberry. Incited by the English

they committed many atrocities during the early wars but in com-

pilance with the Treaty of Portage des Sioux moved West, and small

pox and other white man's diseases, to which they had not developed

immunity, decimated many of the tribes almost to the point of extinction.
THE FRENCH
    The first documentary acquisition of land in the vicinity of Elsber-

ry were the Spanish grants. The French were the first to visit Mis-

souri and LaSalle who crossed the Mississippi near St. Louis, but did

not come as far north as Elsberry, took formal possession of the coun-

try by right of discovery April 9, 1682 in the name of Louis XIV, and in

his honor named it Louisiana. And Louisiana it has remained ever

since. But the French were explorers and adventurers and left few

permanent settlements. The only local record of their brilliant era re-

mains today in the names of streams and geographical localities, such

as Cape au Gris, Cuivre River, St. Charles, Burboise, Charette, and

Portage des Sioux.



Page 2:
THE SPANISH
    French occupation was short lived and on November 3, 1762 France

by a secret treaty ceded Louisiana and New Orleans to Spain in com-

pensation for heavy losses sustained by Spain as France's ally in the

Seven Years War. By that treaty the site of Elsberry became a Spanish

possession and the country along the Mississippi from Canada to the

Gulf was known as New Spain.

    During this period the Spanish grant on which Elsberry is located

(Survey 1706) was made to Pierre Chouteau, January 8, 1798 by His

Excellency, Don Zenon Trudeau, Lieutenant Governor of Upper Louisi-

ana, under the Government of the Kingdom of Spain. It consisted of a

league square of land containing 7,056 arpents, was located "on the

River S Austin" (Lost Creek) and ran North to the "River St. Antonis"

(Page's Branch). From this 7,056 arpents was carved the present site

of Elsberry.

    Pierre Chouteau was of pure French extraction and was born in

New Orleans. His brother, Auguste Chouteau, cooperated with Laclede

in the establishment of St. Louis in 1764 and took over the manage-

of the enterprise after Laclede's death. Both brothers spent the re-

mainder of their lives in St. Louis and became men of prominence and

wealth.

    The French name Pierre Chouteau is written "Peter" Chouteau

in the English versions and "Don Pedro" Chouteau in the Spanish, just

as the name of the grantee in the adjacent Survey of 1760 is written

Guillermo Palmer in the original Spanish grant and William Palmer in

the English translation. (The south line of Survey 1706 is the north line

of Survey 1760).

    William Palmer had served under Napoleon and on his retirement

was rewarded with a grant of land (Survey 1760) in Louisiana and came

to America to claim it but does not seem to have visited it again after

its first survey. His son, Alexis Palmer, however assumed possession

early in the century and spent the remainder of his life there. And

William Palmer, Jr., son of Alexis and grandson of William Palmer,

the original grantee, inherited a portion of the tract and subsequently

plays an important part in this narrative.

    The Spanish spent large sums of money vainly trying to colonize

Louisiana, during which time they gave Daniel Boone 850 acres and

appointed him syndic (Justice of the Peace) to induce him to come to

St. Charles County (which then included Lincoln County) from Ken-

tucky, and after heavy losses, finally ceded Louisiana back to France

by the Treaty of San Ildefonso, April 30, 1800. And Survey 1706 and

Elsberry were again French Territory.

    Napoleon was preparing for war with England and was desperate-

ly in need of money. Nelson had annihilated his fleet at Trafalgar and

English ships were hovering in the Gulf of Mexico ready to seize New

Orleans and Louisiana. By a brilliant coup Napoleon sold Louisiana

April 30, 1803, to the United States for fifteen million dollars and there-

by prevented the conquest of Louisiana by the English and at the same

time secured funds for the English war. And the future Elsberry was

at last a part of the United Sates of America.

    The territory was formally transferred to the United States, at St.

Louis, December 20, 1803 by an elaborate ceremony in which Lieutenant

Governor Delassus representing Napoleon, lowered the French colors

and Captain Soulard, representing President Jefferson, raised the Stars

Page 3:
and Stripes. And Congress on April 12, 1814 enacted a statute under

which Survey 1706, Survey 1760 and other Spanish surveys, were con-

firmed to their original grantees, Peter Chouteau and William Palmer,

and others.

    By act of Congress the Territory of Louisiana became the Terri-

tory  of Missouri in 1812 and shortly thereafter Governor William

Clark, under Congressional authority, proclaimed St. Charles as a

county reaching from the Missouri River on the south to the British

Dominions on the north, and from the Mississippi River on the east

to the Pacific Ocean on the west, which naturally Included Elsberry.

    From this area the Territorial Legislature, meeting at St. Charles,

then the capitol of the State, established Lincoln County, December 14,

1818 and named it for Gen. Benjamin Lincoln, a revolutionary soldier.

And on August 10, 1821, by act of Congress and on the proclamation of

President Monroe, Missouri was admitted as a State to the Union. And

for the first time it could be Elsberry, Missouri, U. S. A.

    During the intervening years title to various parts of Survey 1706

had passed by purchase or inheritance to various owners until in 1868

the present site of Elsberry with outlying land was bought by R. T. Els-

berry from the heirs of Nelson Watts who had held it for many years.
