Produktbeschreibung

Excerpt from Journal of the Illinois States Historical Society, Vol. 6 In the first half of the nineteenth century when the great wave of immigration swept westward, at first from the southern and eastern states of the Union, but later from far off Ireland and Germany, Illinois received her share. From among the great heterogeneous mass of humanity which came, there arose leaders who were able to guide the destiny of the great state whose opportunities they had come to enjoy. The careers of some of these leaders, because of their long continued influence, form important chapters in Illinois history. Among this class, John Reynolds is perhaps unsurpassed for he was associate justice of the Supreme Court of the State, legislator, governor and congressman, this whole period of service aggregating twenty-five years. Since he was a man interested and instrumental in the social, economic and political development of the State, an insight into his activities reveals, at least, certain important phases of Illinois development. In 1818 when John Reynolds secured his first public office, associate justice of the Supreme Court of Illinois, the State was still a frontier region. It had made only a mere beginning toward becoming a settled community. Immigrants had not flocked to it as they had to Kentucky and Ohio. The two decades previous to 1818, however, had done much for the future of the State. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
