Juliette Augusta Magill Kinzie was an American historian, writer, and pioneer of the American Midwest. Born on September 11, 1806, in Middletown, Connecticut, she played a significant role in documenting the early history and experiences of settlers in the American frontier. In 1830, she married John H. Kinzie, and together they moved to the Midwest, where she became a central figure in the development of the region. Her writings, particularly her personal accounts of life in the Northwest Territory, provide valuable insights into the challenges faced by pioneers and settlers. She is best known for her work Wau-Bun: The Early Day in the Northwest, which vividly captures the experiences of early settlers and their interactions with Native Americans. Kinzie passed away on September 15, 1870, at the age of 64 in Amagansett, New York. She had one child, Eleanor Lytle Kinzie, and is also remembered through her great-grandchildren, Rowland Leigh and Margaret Graves. Her contributions to American history and literature remain significant today.
