Book excerpt: Excerpt from Illinois: Courthouses on the Circuit; Excerpts From Newspapers and Other Sources In June, 1855, a man name Isaac Wyant became embroiled in a street brawl over a land boundary dispute. One Anson Rusk shot Wyant in the arm. After the limb was amputated near the shoulder, Wyant murdered Rusk in the County Clerk's office in Clinton, Illinois, on October 12, 1855. He shot him four times in broad daylight and in the presence of several witnesses. In 1857 the case (the People v. Wyant) was tried in Bloomington, Illinois (march 31-april on a change of venue. David Davis was the judge, and Lincoln aided the prosecution. Wyant pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity. His sanity had been questionable long before the murder, and several doctors, including the Superintendent of the State Hospital for the Insane at Jacksonville, testified for the defense. Wyant was acquitted and became an inmate at Jacksonville for several years thereafter. He was eventually released on condition that he return to his native Indiana to stay.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner, ISHS Annual Award for a Scholarly Publication, 2018 For twenty-three years Abraham Lincoln practiced law on the Eighth Judicial Circuit in east central Illinois, and his legal career is explored in Looking for Lincoln in Illinois: A Guide to Lincoln’s Eighth Judicial Circuit. Guy C. Fraker directs readers and travelers through the prairies to the towns Lincoln visited regularly. Twice a year, spring and fall, Lincoln’s work took him on a journey covering more than four hundred miles. As his stature as a lawyer grew, east central Illinois grew in population and influence, and the Circuit provided Lincoln with clients, friends, and associates who became part of the network that ultimately elevated him to the presidency. This guidebook to the Circuit features Illinois courthouses, Looking for Lincoln Wayside Exhibits, and other Lincoln points of interest. Fraker guides travelers down the long stretches of quiet country roads that gave Lincoln time to read and think to the locations where Lincoln’s broad range of cases expanded his sense of the economic and social forces changing America.
