As the author himself has been born and brought up in Illinois, there is a nativity and originality to his work.

Download or read book A Woman s Story Of Pioneer Illinois 1919 written by Christiana Holmes Tillson and published by . This book was released on 2008-06 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Christiana and John Tillson moved from Massachusetts to central Illinois in 1822. Upon arriving in Montgomery County near what would soon be Hillsboro, they set up a general store and real estate business and began to raise a family. A half century later, Christiana Tillson wrote about her early days in Illinois in a memoir published by R. R. Donnelley in 1919. In it she describes her husband's rise to wealth through the speculative land boom during the 1820s and 1830s and his loss of fortune when the land business went bust after the Specie Circular was issued in 1836. The Tillsons lived quite ordinary lives in extraordinary times, notes Kay J. Carr, introducing this edition. Their views and sensibilities, Carr says, might seem strange to us, but they were entirely normal to people in the early nineteenth century. Thus Tillson's memoir provides vignettes of ordinary nineteenth-century American life.

Download or read book Pioneers of the Illinois Prairie written by John Eric Lutz and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2005 with total page 83 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The front cover, a photograph of the BB Lutz family, embodies the spirit of the early Illinois pioneers. Each member of this particular extended family farmed, lived near each other, married and raised their families and died in west-central Illinois. The harshness of this life and times is noted in the fact that BB Lutz's wife, Luella Brice was married when she was 17 years old, had 9 children in 17 years, and died at 46 years old. Life in rural America has changed a good deal since these times. This book and the accompanying writings of our ancestors, in particular John Henry Lutz, should offer a glimpse of life as it was in those days. Take note that one 2- year-old boy died during the trip from Virginia to Illinois in 1854. Another 2-year-old boy arrived in Illinois quite ill and could easily have died as well. This little boy was Benjamin B Lutz. Modern farming and agriculture have improved a great deal in these past 150+ years since our ancestors trekked across America in covered wagons and plowed the land with mules. This book and their writings are offered to their indomitable spirit and memory.
