Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Geography of Illinois The present volume is the first in a series inaugurated by the University of Chicago Press to fill a long-felt need. The plan adopted is to provide an authoritative geographic study of a state or other limited region, presenting in compact form the wide range of physical influences which make up the geographic environment in which men live. And further, attempting to show the ways in which human life in the region is shaped by these physical influences. It is with this point of View, and with this purpose in mind, that Professor Ridgley has undertaken the study of Illinois. The aim is to present the geography of the state in such a way as to be of interest and value to the general reader, as well as to furnish teachers and schools with an ample text for reference or class use. It cannot be hoped that the point of View, choice of materials presented, or method of presentation will please everyone, but critical comment will be welcomed by the author and by the editor as aids in furthering the service of the series.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Illinois: History, Government, Geography How has Illinois grown from a wilder ness of prairies 'to a prosperous state supporting a population of more than 10 million? The answer is that Illinois is rich in natural advantages. One of the greatest of these is its location. Others are fertile plains suitable for farming, a favorable climate, and valuable mineral resources. All these resources, however, would have been of little value with out people who could make good use of them. It is the people of Illinois who by their ideas, their skills, and their energy have made our state what it is today. Thanks to what they have done, Illinois has become great. Similar opportunities exist for everyone living in Illinois today. You, too, can share in building a greater future for our state.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of Illinois: To Accompany an Historical Map of the State Two large valleys extend into the innermost centre of a continent, and a broad plateau of fertile soil intervenes between them. This is Illinois - a connecting link and portage ground from one of them to the other.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Sovereign State of Illinois, a Short History of a Great State: Its Geography, Climate, Resources, and Industries In Illinois the per capita wealth, even in the late thirties, was This amounted to per cent above the national average. Now the state ranks third in per capita income and its taxes per capita are probably the lowest of any major state. The 1949-1950 budget of over a billion dollars is a 12 per cent increase since World War II but the average increase in other states is 22 per cent. Industrially the state ranks third in the nation. Almost every town has its manufacturing plants. East St. Louis, Alton, Peoria, Rockford, Rock Island, Moline and others throb with industry. A million people are carried on factory pay rolls. Nearly two-thirds of the state is underlaid with coal. From great oil domes in central and southern Illinois, over seventy-five million barrels are pumped annually into the nation's mechanical circulation. Smokestacks tower above the fertile plain on almost every horizon. Yet, here and there, in bits of rough land along creeks, playgrounds have been set aside by the state. Artificial lakes attract yachtsmen. Fishermen and hunters find plenty of wild life to test their skill. Small game, partridge and other wild fowl are all bagged by sportsmen.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of New Haven, Illinois This book was written as a project in teaching Jimmie, who, as many of you well know, is paralyzed, both hands and both feet, and has been for about ten years. It was entirely his idea, but as we worked it grew much like the proverbial snowball. Through this project we have learned something of reading, writing, spelling, language composition, history and geography and their relation to everyday life in his home town. Writing is much more of a task for Jimmie than many of you may realize and his perseverance and good spirit are highly commendable. Many changes have taken place here since the good old days and every one will agree it is a much better place to live now than it was then. We appreciate your advice, encouragement and help.
