Book excerpt: Excerpt from Fighting Men of Illinois: An Illustrated Historical Biography Compiled From Private and Public Authentic Records Here where fearless courage, undaunted bravery and hardy perseverance always find the response of ready appreciation, we of the west look back with glowing pride to the deeds accomplished and obsta cles overcome by these intrepid men - the founders of our western civilization - the discoverers Of our homes today. The bright lustre of their fame France shares with us since La Salle, Joliet, Marquette, Champlain, and a thousand others mothered by fair France rest now in the bosom of the land that ever enticed and enthralled them. Their efforts are the corner stones of the greatest civilization the world has ever known. Their trials and tribulations were not in vain. Upon the foundation left by them there has in less than three centuries been established the most powerful nation known to history. Tradition - the forerunner of history - really means unproven history - but it does not necessarily follow tradition is untrue. Many really 'great experiences befallen hitherto unknown and obscure men, have been related, retold and marked tradition and have been denied the pages of civilized history. The probability that many of these undertakings were true, but were accorded to tradition and unrecorded in history is due to the fact that they were either not recorded securely enough, or that they were recorded in wrong places. The great tradition of France is that in 1488, antedating Columbus by four years, Cousin, a French sailor, discovered America. Cousin, sailing from his home port of Dieppe, while far out to sea Off the African coast, was forced westward by wild winds until one day he beheld land in the distance. Upon closer investigation he made out the mouth of a large river. Lacking the initiative Of the later navigators, he made no explorations, nor did he land, but with the aid of clement weather retraced his course and in due time returned to France.

Book excerpt: This beautifully written and timely story shows a transgender soldier's personal bravery as he faced daring challenges on the battlefield and privately battled the restrictions and confines of gender. By the time she arrived in Belvidere, Illinois, and started working as a farmhand, Jennie had a new name and a new identity . . . Albert D. J. Cashier. In 1861, the winds of war blew through the United States. Jennie Hodgers, a young immigrant from Ireland, moved west to Illinois and soon had a new name and a new identity--Albert D. J. Cashier. Like many other young men, Albert joined the Union Army. Though the smallest soldier in his company, Albert served for nearly three years and fought in forty battles and skirmishes. When the war ended, Albert continued to live his life as a man. His identity fit him as snug as his suspenders. Decades later, a reporter caught wind of the news that an old man in the Soldiers' and Sailors' Home was actually a woman. The news swept through the country. What would happen to Albert and his military pension? Would he be allowed to continue to live as he wished? How would his friends, fellow soldiers, and others in the community react? This book is published in partnership with GLAAD to accelerate LGBTQ inclusivity and acceptance.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Russell P. Strange "Book of the Year" Award from the Illinois State Historical Society, 2012. On the eve of the War of 1812, the Illinois Territory was a new land of bright promise. Split off from Indiana Territory in 1809, the new territory ran from the junction of the Ohio and Mississippi rivers north to the U.S. border with Canada, embracing the current states of Illinois, Wisconsin, and a part of Michigan. The extreme southern part of the region was rich in timber, but the dominant feature of the landscape was the vast tall grass prairie that stretched without major interruption from Lake Michigan for more than three hundred miles to the south. The territory was largely inhabited by Indians: Sauk, Potawatomi, Kickapoo, and others. By 1812, however, pioneer farmers had gathered in the wooded fringes around prime agricultural land, looking out over the prairies with longing and trepidation. Six years later, a populous Illinois was confident enough to seek and receive admission as a state in the Union. What had intervened was the War of 1812, in which white settlers faced both Indians resistant to their encroachments and British forces poised to seize control of the upper Mississippi and Great Lakes. The war ultimately broke the power and morale of the Indian tribes and deprived them of the support of their ally, Great Britain. Sometimes led by skillful tacticians, at other times by blundering looters who got lost in the tall grass, the combatants showed each other little mercy. Until and even after the war was concluded by the Treaty of Ghent in 1814, there were massacres by both sides, laying the groundwork for later betrayal of friendly and hostile tribes alike and for ultimate expulsion of the Indians from the new state of Illinois. In this engrossing new history, published upon the war's bicentennial, Gillum Ferguson underlines the crucial importance of the War of 1812 in the development of Illinois as a state. The history of Illinois in the War of 1812 has never before been told with so much attention to the personalities who fought it, the events that defined it, and its lasting consequences. Endorsed by the Illinois Society of the War of 1812 and the Illinois War of 1812 Bicentennial Commission.
