Kickapoo Club

The Kickapoo Club appears to have been a Bloomington, Illinois group active in the early 1900s, and it is credited as the author of Note-book No. 1 of the Kickapoo Club (1914). Project Gutenberg lists the work under the club name while also identifying the ebook text as "by Various," which suggests a collaborative publication rather than the work of one individual.

The book itself centers on archaeological interests in Illinois, including artifacts, mound sites, and preservation efforts. In the opening pages, named contributors include C. H. Robinson, and the text describes an expedition by Bloomington and Normal men to the Cahokia mound group in April 1913, giving the notebook the feel of a local historical and archaeological record.

Because the available sources here describe an organization instead of a clearly documented single person, there is no confirmed personal life story to tell in the usual author sense. Readers can best think of the Kickapoo Club as a community of enthusiasts whose shared notebook preserves a small but vivid piece of regional history.
