Hall, James (1793–1868), circuit judge, banker, and editor in frontier Illinois, edited the Illinois Gazette (1820–22) and the Illinois Intelligencer (1829–32) and founded the Illinois Monthly Magazine (1830), the first literary periodical west of Ohio. He is chiefly remembered for his record of pioneer life and legends. His many books include the romantic Letters from the West (1828); Legends of the West (1832), containing The Seventh Son, a realistic sketch; Sketches of History, Life, and Manners in the West (1834); and a History of the Indian Tribes (3 vols., 1836–44), written with T.L. McKenney.
