Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Life and Times of Hon. Samuel D. Lockwood "The most substantial glory of a country is in its virtuous, great men. Its prosperity will depend on its docility to learn from their example. "That nation is fated to ignominy and servitude for which such men have lived in vain." The real history of Illinois must be found in the lives of her eminent men. This statement will bear repeating, as at least, inviting careful consideration. The real history of Illinois must be found in the lives of her eminent men, and we shall look in vain for it elsewhere. The growth of our state has been phenomenal, and with a good degree of commendable pride, we look over the tables indicating our progress in all material things. But statistics are not history, and the columns of figures, furnished by our census bureau, give only the skeleton of state organization and development. For all beauty and expression of form and feature, we must look elsewhere, and for the hidden springs of life, the vital forces that underlie all development, we must look far deeper, even down to where living souls think and feel, plan and resolve. The old adage has come down to us from the dark ages, "Peace has no history," and the record of former centuries, abounding in tales of bloody strife and savage warfare, seems to prove the adage true for those times. Fortunately, however, a change has come in these latter days, or Illinois would have no history outside our our Indian conflicts.
