Book excerpt: Excerpt from Recollections of the Pioneers of Lee County When a stranger taps at our door we naturally expect to be told his name and errand, and if he wishes to become an inmate of our home, something of his history. To those, therefore, who care to become better acquainted with this little book, we will tell something of its birth and parentage. The Lee County Columbian Club, in common with others throughout the entire state, was organized by an officer of the Illinois Woman's Expo sitiou Board - tor the purpose of opening communication with all parts of the county, of securing, for the various departments of the great expo sitiou any and every item in our county which would add to its interest or give evidence of the history, growth, resources, culture, or natural feat ures of the county. Also to facilitate communication with the State Board; to encourage the study of the Exposition; awakening interest and enabling us to enjoy it more intelligently. At one of our earliest meetings Miss Elizabeth J. Shaw spoke with much earnestness of the great historic events which are connected with Lee County, making ita point of interest not only to the state, but to the nation. This led to her being requested to prepare a sketch of those events, for the instruction and entertainment of the Club.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Early Lee County, Being Some Chapters in the History, of the Early Days in Lee County, Illinois This is not an effort to write a history of any man or any locality. The sole purpose of the work is the collection and preservation of the scarce and almost inaccessible evidence of some of the men and events prominent in the early days of Lee County. It was not prepared to sustain any theory or tradition, but every effort within my power has been made to learn all the facts concerning these men and events and state them correctly. Some old traditions have been shattered, but they were not sustained by the facts, and many of them had no foundation except the loose talk of persons who were ignorant of the matters of which they spoke. Some of my old beliefs, held and cherished since early childhood, have been dispelled, but they were founded upon misinformation. Reference is made to some public record, report or document whenever one could be found. When such evidence could not be had, my resort was to newspapers, private letters or records or books written or published about that time, in the belief that such contemporaneous statements are more likely to be free from error than those made years afterwards. In some instances the private records and the public records differ, and the latter are followed, the entries being contemporaneous with the event. Every statement of fact is based on evidence of one of the kinds mentioned, though references have been omitted in some places. All Indian words appearing on John Dixon's account books are given in the form used there. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt: ...of the prophet came over to Lee county from Nauvoo about this time and a very considerable Mormon following was obtained in Lee county. Among the number were the Hooks, Edwin Cadwell, Wentworth Blair, Stephen Stone and David L. Doan. It was a deplorable circumstance, however, that none of the Smiths could get along with his neighbors. This William Smith was no exception. He was arrested here for bigamy, released and then he left the country. In 1860, April 6th, the anniversary of the founding of the church, the annual conference was held in Amboy. Joseph Smith, Jr., was installed prophet and high priest in the old Mechanics Hall, where the meeting was held. Amboy township was peopled early by enterprising people. So soon as the settlers got their bearings, they proceeded at once to build their homes and schools and churches and then to establish villages for trading and manufacturing purposes. Binghamton was laid out by Asa B. Searls and named in honor of Binghamton, New York. Its location was on the southeast quarter of section 14. The date was April, 1848. Warren Badger laid off some lots contiguous. Here Mr. Searls opened and maintained the Binghamton House. He erected a store as well and took into partnership Edward Waters. Later Henry Potter bought the store and he in turn sold it to the Union Company, a cooperative company, conducted by James H. Preston. Robert G. Ingersoll was Mr. Searls' "hired man," for a considerable period. Binghamton became a flouring mill center, John Dexter in 1844: built one on Green river and the Badger brothers, Warren and Palmer, built another. The latter was killed by a bank of earth falling on him and Chester Badger took his place in the partnership. In 1858, Chester and Henry Badger took...
