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.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Men of Illinois It is as impossible to make a good impression without a good press as it is impossible to make a good copperplate likeness of a person unless the original photograph were all that it should be.

Mr. Coover is without question in the very front of his profession. For his assistance in making this book pictorially excellent the publisher wishes to thank Mr. Coover heartily, and takes this as the best means of so doing.

It is wonderful to think that long before Rome was built, or the Pyramids rear-cd their lof-ty heads by the banks of the Nile, there may have been dense-ly crowd-cd cit-ies all over this fair land; and that on the fruit-ful plains of Ill-in ois, men and women, by thou-sands, lived and loved, suf-fer-ed and died, of whose ex-ist-ence there is scarcely the faint-est trace.

Download or read book The Story of Illinois and Its People Classic Reprint written by William Lewis Nida and published by Forgotten Books. 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.
