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.

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.
