Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Historic Illinois: The Romance of the Earlier Days The intention of this book is not scholastic, nor has any special effort been made along lines of original research, the single purpose being to render Illinois history of interest to the many who seldom discover it to be so. The writer believes that historical occurrences, properly presented, should prove more enticing than even the most fascinating fiction, because those men and women thus depicted were actual living entities. In the preparation of this volume no particular originality is claimed, other than the mode of arrangement chosen for the subject-matter, and an earnest effort to give vividness to the narrative. Like all compilations, it is the production, not of one mind, but of a multitude. Every known writer on Illinois history has been consulted in the endeavor to attain accuracy, yet it has not been considered expedient to clog the pages with continual notes of reference. Wherever the language, or direct thought, of any former writer has been utilized, the endeavor has been made to give full acknowledgment in the text. The rare charm of European travel, as well as of journeying in our own Eastern States, is largely enhanced by the constantly recurring scenes of picturesque, historic interest. Comparatively few realize that no State of the Union surpasses Illinois in the romantic incidents of early days.
