Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Makers of Illinois, Vol. 2: A Memorial History of the State's Honored Dead Mr. Fuller's service as ad jutant general of the state during the Civil war would alone entitle him to the grateful remembrance of the people of Illinois for years to come and yet his labors were by no means limited to that one public service. While a member of the state legislature in both house and senate he took an active and help ful part in framing the laws enacted during the period and through his efforts and influence various important measures found their way to the statute books of the state. To him may be attributed the law establishing railroad commissions and a board of public charities, both of which laws are now in force. He was also the author of a bill upon the subject of eminent domain. He introduced and supported the revenue law substantially now in force, and the impress of his genius and ability is found on many a page of the Revised Statutes of the State. All of Illinois' many histories pay tribute to the work and worth of General Fuller and it was with regret that his fellow citizens saw him retire from public life in 1872. He was one of the early founders and promoters of the republican party in Illinois and in the never-to-be-forgotten political campaign of 1860 he and Governor Yates canvassed almost the entire state in behalf of the republican party. Theirs was a successful and brilliant campaign, largely pro moting the support given to the political organization which they advocated.

This book was released on 2015-07-21 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Brief Biographies of the Figurines on Display in the Illinois State Historical Library Though many people are already acquainted with the beautiful figurines in the Illinois State Historical Library, many others have not met them, and so this little book is published as an introduction. Through the generosity of Mrs. Minna Schmidt, of Chicago, this addition to the Library was made possible. It has been a long, but delightful, task, searching for any bit of information possible to obtain - a few lines here, a paragraph there - for until recent years, biographies have been confined principally to the masculine sex. Authorities differed on some points, as the spelling of a name, the date of a birth or death. In such cases we had to choose that which to us seemed more nearly correct. It would be impossible to enumerate all the sources from which this information has been derived, but we are greatly indebted to all the relatives and friends who have assisted us with personal letters or interviews, as well as to the County Histories of the State and other reference books used in the compilation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Check List of Lincolniana: In the Journals and Publications of the Illinois State Historical Society, 1899-1938 The figure of Abraham Lincoln so dominated the history of Illinois during the nineteenth century that the consideration of his life apart from the history of the State of Illinois is almost impossible. Consequently, in preparing a selective check list of Lincoln material in the publications of the Illinois State Historical Society, complete separa tion of the two subjects was found to be difficult. We have, however, tried to confine the references to individuals and events having a direct bearing on the life of Lincoln. Articles which are wholly given to this subject were chosen for inclusion, and isolated references were excluded except where, in the opinion of the compiler, they seemed important. This was necessary in order to eliminate needless bulk and to obtain greater usefulness. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book New Media Futures written by Donna Cox and published by University of Illinois Press. This book was released on 2018-05-30 with total page 645 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Trailblazing women working in digital arts media and education established the Midwest as an international center for the artistic and digital revolution in the 1980s and beyond. Foundational events at the University of Illinois and the School of the Art Institute of Chicago created an authentic, community-driven atmosphere of creative expression, innovation, and interdisciplinary collaboration that crossed gender lines and introduced artistically informed approaches to advanced research. Interweaving historical research with interviews and full-color illustrations, New Media Futures captures the spirit and contributions of twenty-two women working within emergent media as diverse as digital games, virtual reality, medicine, supercomputing visualization, and browser-based art. The editors and contributors give voice as creators integral to the development of these new media and place their works at the forefront of social change and artistic inquiry. What emerges is the dramatic story of how these Midwestern explorations in the digital arts produced a web of fascinating relationships. These fruitful collaborations helped usher in the digital age that propelled social media.

Download or read book The Eminent and Heroic Women of America Classic Reprint written by Elizabeth F. Ellet and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-05-17 with total page 858 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Eminent and Heroic Women of America My success in these applications has not been such as to enable me to fill out entirely my own idea of the work I wished to present to the reader. Some of the sketches are necessarily brief and meagre, and perhaps few of them do full justice to their subjects. There is, also, inherent dith culty in delineating female character, which impresses itself on the memory of those who have known the individual by delicate traits, that may be felt but not described. The actions of men stand out in prominent relief, and are a safe guide in forming a judgment of them a woman's sphere, on the other hand, is secluded, and in very few instances does her personal history, even though she may fill a conspicuous position, afford sufficient incident to throw a strong light upon her character. This want of salient, points for description must be felt by all who have attempted a faithful portraiture of some beloved female relative. How much is the difficulty increased when a stranger essays a tribute to those who no longer among the living, and whose existence was passed for the most part in a quiet round of domestic duties!

Download or read book Illinois Grows Up Classic Reprint written by Frances Lord Blatchford and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-07-12 with total page 122 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Illinois Grows Up Some Indians were kind and friendly. Others were cruel and fierce. They had red skins and high cheek bones. Their hair grew long and straight. Their eyes shone bright and black. Furry skins of wild animals hung from their waists. On their feet they wore leather moccasins. They stuck feathers in their coarse, black hair, and painted themselves with vivid colors. The Algonquins lived in little villages along the banks of streams and in groves. Around their wigwams they smoked tobacco. They liked to play ball, to wrestle, and to dance. They could walk or run for a long time without getting tired. The men carried hatchets called tomahawks. They fished or hunted with bows and arrows. Though the woods were full of animals, andthe lakes full of fish, the Indians took only what they needed. Indian women did most of the hard work. They planted the crops, and raised the pumpkins, melons, and corn. When the village moved, the women pulled up the wigwams, carried the poles, and set up the new camp. They did all the cooking. They made their clothes with bone needles. Instead of coats, they wrapped themselves in gaily colored blankets. Their short leather skirts were fringed, and their moccasins embroidered with beads. The mothers called their babies papooses, and carried them strapped to their backs on wooden boards. They thought the boards made the children grow straight. Young children learned to stand pain without crying. The boys chipped stone arrowheads. For the winter they made snowshoes. They built strong, light canoes. They learned how to hunt and how to fight. The girls helped their mothers cook and sew. They prepared deerskins for shirts and leggings. They colored porcupine quills for trimming. They wove grass baskets, and sometimes painted pictures on their water jars. Indian girls liked pretty things, and often strung necklaces of beads or shells. We think of the Indians as having horses. But horses were brought to this country from the Old World. It's fun to imagine how the Indians of Illinois felt when they saw their first horse.
