Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of Illinois and Her People, Vol. 2 of 6 The people of the new state gave considerable attention to military matters. This gave those who had had some experience in war a chance to take command of units of the militia and assume the high sounding titles that go along with military organization. Muster days were marked events in the calendar of the year. The new state had started well under Governor Bond. The first session of the Legislature had been diligent in enacting such laws as their needs seemed to require. Courts had been organized, county officers appointed, and the machinery of civil government was fairly well adjusted. The governor was able to report a healthy financial condition of the state's new treasury department. At the meeting of the second Legislature, which convened in December, 1820, and held over into the year 1821, there were quite a few laws passed and some subjects considered which were taken up at later sessions.

This book was released on 2015-07-06 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Story of Illinois and Its People History is the most human, and therefore the most absorbing, of all studies. There seems to be no practical limit to the interest that may be secured in the class room, when the great events are presented to the pupils as the actual deeds of real people. In capable hands the pages often become, as it were, a stage on which living characters reenact the dramas of former generations. Take the children, in imagination, through that picturesque region and along the beautiful streams that Black Hawk loved, and he ceases to be merely a troublesome Indian, and becomes to them thereafter the hero of a pathetic racial tragedy. Pioneer days have gone forever from Illinois. Yet that ever-present longing in the human race to go to the woods, to build the cabin, and to battle with the wilderness, will spring up as a flame in the minds of our boys and girls of today, when told of the heroic deeds of their forefathers. Nor will the fact be overlooked, that out of these meager frontier fabrics were woven some of the most sterling characters of our national life. Let us, then, carry out the lumber of unimportant details and the dry bones of facts and dates, and bring in the live flesh and blood of Interest, Incident and Narrative, and we shall find that the time devoted to the study of the history of our own State has indeed been a profitable season.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Illinois, Vol. 2 of 5: The Heart of the Nation The sending Of the challenge by Lincoln to Douglas under these surroundings at that time was an inspiration. Whether Lincoln conceived it himself or whether it was suggested by J udd, medill or Washburne, is immaterial; it was still an inspira tion. Douglas could not refuse the challenge without being charged with cowardice or refusal to meet fairly the great issues Of the day. As Douglas said to a friend: I have nothing to gain and everything to lose by acceptance, but nonetheless he must accept.

Download or read book The Makers of Illinois Vol 2 written by Josiah Seymour Currey and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-10-13 with total page 476 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Makers of Illinois, Vol. 2: A Memorial History of the State's Honored Dead Mr. Fuller's service as ad jutant general of the state during the Civil war would alone entitle him to the grateful remembrance of the people of Illinois for years to come and yet his labors were by no means limited to that one public service. While a member of the state legislature in both house and senate he took an active and help ful part in framing the laws enacted during the period and through his efforts and influence various important measures found their way to the statute books of the state. To him may be attributed the law establishing railroad commissions and a board of public charities, both of which laws are now in force. He was also the author of a bill upon the subject of eminent domain. He introduced and supported the revenue law substantially now in force, and the impress of his genius and ability is found on many a page of the Revised Statutes of the State. All of Illinois' many histories pay tribute to the work and worth of General Fuller and it was with regret that his fellow citizens saw him retire from public life in 1872. He was one of the early founders and promoters of the republican party in Illinois and in the never-to-be-forgotten political campaign of 1860 he and Governor Yates canvassed almost the entire state in behalf of the republican party. Theirs was a successful and brilliant campaign, largely pro moting the support given to the political organization which they advocated.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Recollections of Early Illinois and Her Noted Men: Read Before the Chicago Historical Society, March 16, 1880 While cultivating these narrow strips of land the men would be in close proximity to each other, ready at a moment's notice to assemble for mutual protection or assistance. This arrangement gave the French people, likewise, an opportunity to gratify their strong social tastes and feelings. On the other hand, there is nothing gregarious or social in the disposition of the American pioneer. He takes his family out into the wilds, and squats down wherever he finds water, timber, and game abundant. He builds a cabin, breaks up a few acres of ground, which he puts in corn, keeping in mind all the time that he is as far away from neighbors as is consistent with safety from Indians. He claims the whole country as belonging to him and his class. He has not the slightest conception of the rights of the aboriginal inhabitants. He regards it as his mission to drive them off, or what is preferable, to exterminate them. The minds of these men seem to have been so peculiarly constructed or perverted as to render it impossible for them to comprehend the fact that Indians have rights. They are Me manifest destiny - men par excellence. The time in which they are not occupied in the corn-patch is spent in the deepest forest solitudes, their only companions their dog and gun. Day in and day out, he creeps stealthily through the woods watching for game be it a buck or an Indian, the instant he perceives it his 'unerring ri e lays it dead at his feet. The savages in his front, and the wave of population coming after, equally annoy him. It is said that if your genuine pioneer hears his neighbor's chickens crow, he is off into the more profound depths of the wilderness, and gives up his cabin and his clearing, and goes off muttering his curses against the Indians and the Yankees.
