500    Includes a chronology and historical resources. 
520    In the most complete retelling of the founding of 
       Naperville, long-forgotten facts are woven into an 
       historical narrative reminiscent of "Little House" books. 
       Joseph Naper's twelve-year-old neice Ruth Eliza Murray, 
       mischievous brother Amos, rugged brother Ned, and thirteen
       courageous families endure windless days and stormy nights
       in an over-crowded sailing schooner on the Great Lakes. 
       Landing in a swampy little town soon to be Chicago, they 
       head westward on covered wagons across the Illinois 
       prairie to a new home on the DuPage River.
