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 A Student s History of Illinois Classic Reprint written by George W. Smith and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-09 with total page 556 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Student's History of Illinois The richest heritage which shall ever come into our possession is the simple story of the struggles, the sacrifices, and the triumphs of the men and women - our fore-parents - who planted in this western wilderness the home, the school, the church, and the State. We shall never know that story in all its fullness and completeness. For the noble men and women who opened up the way for civilization in all this western country, have long since gone to their reward, and they have left meager accounts of all the vicissitudes through which they passed when "wilderness was king." We may never realize, fully, what it meant for the men and women of a century or more ago to leave comfortable homes, devoted friends and relatives, the associations of childhood, aye, the graves of their dead, and take up their weary march over mountains, across streams, through trackless forests, to plant new homes in a wilderness inhabited by wild beasts and wilder men. It is the purpose of this little volume to reveal a portion of that story to our people, and especially to the boys and girls while they are yet free from the cares of the graver responsibilities of life. If these young people shall ever come into possession of their inheritance, we may not fear for the future of our homes nor for the destiny of the State. The tendency of those who gather up the history of a state or of a nation is to put much stress upon the political movements and greatly to neglect the other phases of a people's life.
