Archer in 1835, eight years after the National Road entered the community.〔(Marshall ) from the National Road Association Of Illinois website〕 The city was named after John Marshall, chief justice of the U.S. Supreme Court.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= Profile for Marshall, Illinois, IL )〕 Marshall was incorporated on May 14, 1873.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= Marshall, Illinois )〕 In 1863, Marshall was the scene of conflict in which local Copperheads, who opposed the Civil War, sought to protect soldiers who had deserted from the Union Army. In March, 1863, an army detail from Indiana arrested several deserters. A local judge, Charles H. Constable, freed the deserters and ordered the arrest of two Union sergeants on kidnapping charges. This resulted in the dispatch of 250 soldiers under the command of Col. Henry B. Carrington by special train from Indianapolis, who surrounded the courthouse, freed the sergeants and arrested judge Charles H. Constable. The judge was, however, absolved several months later after presenting a highly technical defense.〔Stephen E. Towne, "'Such conduct must be put down' -- The Military Arrest of Judge Charles H. Constable during the Civil War", Journal of Illinois History, vol 9, no. 1, Spring 2006, p. 43〕 Marshall was home to the Handy Writers' Colony, 1950-1964. The most famous writer associated with the Colony was the novelist James Jones, who built a home in Marshall and lived there ca. 1952-1957. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Marshall, Illinois」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
