Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from History of Williamson County, Illinois "Not to know what happened before we were born is to remain always a child; for what were the life of man did we not combine present events with the recollections of past ages?" This, said Cicero many ages ago. No community is without a history, and, few, it will be agreed by those of you fortunate enough to peruse the following pages, have to offer such an interesting history as this one written now nearly forty years ago of Williamson county. Its author, Milo Erwin, was, in his time, one of the county´s most eminent lawyers. Many stories are told about the excitement the publication of this book caused. It is now republished for the first time, and with no other intention whatsoever than to enlighten the present generation of the turbulent period through which this community has passed. In behalf of the well known families connected with the terrible vendetta which is here related it should be said that they are now among the best families in the community and some of the persons named are counted at present, good citizens who have lived down all odium that once attached to their names.
