Kickapoo Club
An early-20th-century Illinois club left behind a curious record of archaeological finds, local history, and field excursions. Their surviving notebook reads less like a formal study and more like a snapshot of enthusiastic amateur researchers at work.

About the author
Kickapoo Club appears to have been a group author rather than a single individual. Public-domain library records and Project Gutenberg list the club as the credited author of Note-book No. 1 of the Kickapoo Club, a work connected with Bloomington, Illinois, and first published in 1914.
The book is known for gathering reports on archaeological discoveries, antiquities, and regional history, especially in Illinois. Its pages reflect the interests of local collectors and explorers who documented artifacts, historic sites, and related observations during a period when community historical clubs often played a big role in preserving local knowledge.
Because the available sources identify Kickapoo Club mainly as a collective name, biographical details about individual members are limited. What remains clear is that the club's notebook preserves a small but distinctive piece of Midwestern historical and archaeological curiosity.
