This book was released on 2016-08-26 with total page 576 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Illinois Country, 1673-1818 What a noble structure it is, the history of this conquest of the prairies! If it could only be written in its fullness, with that accuracy which is the ideal but the despair of the historian, what a book it would make! If one could only explain the transference of the men Of the east to the distant west, if one could only unravel the threads Of the complex forces that have resulted in the growth of this prairie state - if one only could! Partial as every state history must be, I can dream Of a history of Illinois that would be one of the greatest contributions to the knowledge Of humanity ever produced. It would discover the relation Of the soil and climate to the social-psychic condi tions; it would reveal the changes in men wrought by the geological foundations Of the prairies; it would trace the con sequences Of the mixture of races - alterations in the melting pot - upon the psychogenesis of generations; it would follow to the end the working of the inexorable economic forces upon primitive society, upon the farming communities, and upon the complex city life; in a word, it would explain human society as developed on prairie land. Though the territory whereon the drama has been played may be limited, the motives Of the men and their actions have been infinite in their diversity and intensity; the play has run through the whole gamut of human motives from the self abnegation and humanitarianism Of Father Marquette to the selfishness and arrogance of John Dodge; here on the soil of Illinois has been developed one of the most perfect of the human species in Abraham Lincoln, and here also have grown to manhood the most Vicious of men. Ever varying, ever changing - such is the history Of Illinois. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Illinois Election Returns 1818 1848 Vol 1 Classic Reprint written by Theodore Calvin Pease and published by . This book was released on 2015-08-04 with total page 680 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Illinois Election Returns, 1818-1848, Vol. 1 The importance of election returns in reducing the study of political party movements so far as possible to exact terms is self evident; and this volume of the Collections offers edited source material of this character that it is hoped may aid students of politics not only for Illinois, but for the nation as well. As no models were available for the volume an editorial policy has had to be developed, and will be stated briefly in the following pages. The election statistics here offered were drawn almost entirely from the original manuscript returns of the county clerks, on file in the office of the secretary of state at Springfield. The usual form of return is a series of sentences each stating the number of votes a candidate received for a given office. From these the tables have been compiled, district returns being computed where necessary. Where the original returns are missing or incomplete they have been supplemented, if possible, from returns found in county records or in newspapers. A folio record of elections in the secretary of state's office was compiled about thirty years ago from the manuscript returns. While it is fairly accurate, it seemed best in preparing this volume to go to the originals. With them the tables have been twice collated; and in a third recheck all discrepancies have been accounted for. The tables are grouped in two divisions, - one including returns for presidential elector, member of congress, governor, and lieutenant governor, and votes on such questions as the calling of constitutional conventions, and the adoption of constitutions; in the other division are returns for members of the general assemblies and of the constitutional convention of 1847.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Pioneers of Civilization in Illinois: An Address In this frontier state there were living in 1820 some 54, 000 whites and about 1500 negroes, chie y indented servants or slaves, a total somewhat less than the population of Peoria in 1900. Nearly all of them lived in the southern third of the present State: in 1818 the three northern counties were Madison, Bond, and Crawford, each of which extended northward to the state line. Crawford county, covering the whole northeastern section of the State and including more than thirty of our present counties, had, in 1818 less than 1000 white inhabitants. Even in southern Illinois the course of settlement clung pretty closely to the Mississippi on the one side and the Ohio and Wabash on the other, leav ing sparsely settled interior counties where one might travel for days through almost unbroken wilderness.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Territorial Papers of the United States, Vol. 17: The Territory of Illinois, 1814-1818, Continued Sir Agreeable to your instructions I left Capais Grais on the Ins' for Praire Du Chien, and proceeded on about forty miles above Fort Madison without any occurrence taking place worth relating. On the about eighty miles below rock river I met a party of Indians from Praire Du Chien with a packet directed to Governor Clarke, they informed me that every thing was quiet and the Garrison compleated at the Praire, on the same day Lieu' Rector of the rangers took a canoe which had a considerable quantity of Indian property in it, and had been just abandoned. On the 18th Inst about twenty miles below rock river I was met by a party of 9 Indians bearing a white flag who informed me that they had heard of our approach and met us to conduct us to the town and to inform us that the Socks and Foxes were friendly disposed, they left us a few miles below the mouth of rock river, at the mouth of which we were met by five others who informed me that the Indians at the Village on Rock river about a mile above its mouth wished to hold a council with me, I proceeded on about four miles and halted to hear what they had to say. I was there met by about 150 Warriors beside women and children, a chief of the Socks asked if I had any presents for him from his Father, I told him there was, provided he fulfilled the promises he had made his father in the Spring which was to go to war with the Peans. He said he had made his Father no such promises and that his father was drunk if he said so. But that he was ready to go to war with the Peans if the Government would furnish him with the means. He further sd the Mississippi was a broad and straight road and the people of the United States should meet with no obstructions in travelling it. We lay at four mile encampment above rock river until the morning of the 21 when I again put out with a fine breeze in order to pass the rapids after proceeding above three miles the boat I was in grounded which compelled me to discharge and put off her loading into the other boats when I again got under way and after proceeding about six miles further the wind increased to a hurricane which separated the boats, my boat being heavy I was afraid of her.
