Book excerpt: Excerpt from Portrait and Biographical Album of Stephenson County, Ill: Containing Full Page Portraits and Biographical Sketches of Prominent and Representative Citizens of the County As one of the most interesting features 'of this work, we present the portraits of numerous represent ative citizens. It has been our aim to have the prominent men of to-day, as well as the pioneers, represented in this department; and we congratulate ourselves on the uniformly high character of the gentlemen whose portraits we present. They are in the strictest sense representative men, and are selected from all the call ings and professions worthy to be given. There are others, it is true, who claim equal prominence with those given; but of course it was impossible for us to give portraits of all the leading men and pioneers of the county. We are under great obligation to many of the noble and generous people of this county for kindly and material assistance in the preparation of this album.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 288 pages with 65 total maps Locating original landowners in maps has never been an easy task-until now. This volume in the Family Maps series contains newly created maps of original landowners (patent maps) in what is now Stephenson County, Illinois, gleaned from the indexes of the Illinois State Archives. But it offers much more than that. For each township in the county, there are two additional maps accompanying the patent map: a road map and a map showing waterways, railroads, and both modern and many historical city-centers and cemeteries. Included are indexes to help you locate what you are looking for, whether you know a person's name, a last name, a place-name, or a cemetery. The combination of maps and indexes are designed to aid researchers of American history or genealogy to explore frontier neighborhoods, examine family migrations, locate hard-to-find cemeteries and towns, as well as locate land based on legal descriptions found in old documents or deeds. The patent-maps are essentially plat maps but instead of depicting owners for a particular year, these maps show original landowners, no matter when the transfer from the federal government was completed. Dates of patents typically begin near the time of statehood and run into the early 1900s. What's Mapped in this book (that you'll not likely find elsewhere) . . . 5515 Parcels of Land (with original landowner names and patent-dates labeled in the relevant map) 81 Cemeteries plus . . . Roads, and existing Rivers, Creeks, Streams, Railroads, and Small-towns (including some historical), etc. What YEARS are these maps for? Here are the counts for parcels of land mapped, by the decade in which the patent applications were made: DecadeParcel-count 1820s1 1830s1 1840s5234 1850s522 1860s110 1870s102 1890s1 1920s1 What Cities and Towns are in Stephenson County, Illinois (and in this book)?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of Stephenson County, Illinois, Vol. 1: A Record of Its Settlement, Organization, and Three-Quarters of a Century of Progress The first flag of a civilized people to wave over the prairies Of Illinois; was the flag Of France. The French explorations from the mouth of the St. Law rence, up that river, over the Great Lakes, over the portages, down the Illi nois, and on the waters of the Mississippi, have no rival in the history Of the world. From the discovery of the St. Lawrence in 1534 and the settlement of Champlain, in 1608, French love of romantic daring, determined patriotism-and religious zeal never flagged till the whole of the Mississippi valley was made known to the civilized world. The work of exploration was carried on to Lake Michigan. It was then taken up by these wonderful men: Marquette, Joliet, Hennepin, Allouez, Tonti and La Salle. In birch bark canoes, they went up and'down the Wisconsin, Illinois, the Rock River and the Mississippi, trading with the Indians, preaching Christianity to them, establishing trading posts and planting here the flag of France. La Salle built Fort Crevecoeur near Peoria, in 1680, and in 1683, fort St. Louis, between Ottawa and La Salle. French settlements were established at Cahokia and at Kaskaskia. French settlers came from France and from New Orleans. In 1720, Fort Chartres was built on the Mississippi between Kaskaskia and Cahokia. In 1750 there were eleven hundred French in Illinois about Kas'kaskia and three hun dred negroes and sixty red slaves. The negro slaves were brought into Illi nois as a result of edicts by Louis XIII and Louis XIV. The officers in Illi nois' then were a commandant and a civil judge. There was no representative government. The European wars between France and England spread to America. Eng lad won America at the battle of Quebec, in 1759, and Illinois and Stephenson County passed from France to England by the Treaty of Paris, 1763. The dream of a great French empire was gone forever and the French flag gave away the banner of Great Britain.
