…Lakes by the St. Lawrence route or by the Mississippi. There is no doubt that both Frontenac and La Salle wished to transfer the emphasis from the converting of the Indians to that of the conquest of territory for France, and to the more profitable business, as they saw it, of commerce. Frontenac had therefore strongly endorsed La Salle and his plans. Through Colbert and his son, La Salle succeeded in getting his patent from the king.

In 1844 a committee surveyed a route for a plank road from Rockford to Chicago at a cost of $312,731.29. The idea failed because of a proposed railroad from Chicago to Galena.
