Book excerpt: Excerpt from Historical Sketch of Jersey County, Illinois: Delivered at Jerseyville, July 4th, 1878 Within the current year, an editorial in the Christian Union expressed some surprise at the idea of the great West participating to any great extent in the rejoicings of our Nations Centennial, because the West had only been settled and developed within the last fifty years. It would, perhaps, excite a smile to assure the learned writer, that on the score of antiquity Illinois is but very little behind Plymouth Rock, and that the smoke of Saratoga had barely settled when a conquest for the American arms was achieved, without shedding a drop of blood, which added territory as great in extent as the inhabited area of the original thirteen colonies. Ninety-eight years ago to-day, Col. George Rogers Clark, with one hundred and fifty-three men, acting under commission from Patrick Henry, then Governor of Virginia, captured Fort Gage and the village of Kaskaskia from the British, and thereby ended forever the rule of England in the Valley of the Mississippi. It is not my purpose to dwell on Jthe particular incidents of this expedition. When I think of the audacity of the design, the small means at command, the hardihood displayed, with the splendor of the result, I can sympathize fully with the sentiment of Joe Daviess, when speaking of Clark and his achievements: When I think of this I feel like Moses at the burning bush Put off thy shoes from off thy feet, for the place whereon thou standest is holy ground. J-Kaskaskia, Cahokia, and Vincennes fell successively into the- hands of the conqueror, and an empire was redeemed from the Jbaleful influence of British rule. True, Vincennes, while held by a sergeant and one private, was recaptured by Lieut.-Gov. Hamilton the British hairbuyer, as he was called by the long-knives; but in February following, Clark marched across the country and retook the il post, and Lieut.-Gov. Hamilton with it.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of Jersey County, Illinois With no other purpose than that the facts, dates, and incidents herein found may be taken and accepted as fair, and wholly disinter ested, with no friends to reward nor enemies to punish, with malice towards none and charity for all, this volume is presented to the citizens of Jersey County with the h0pe that it may be received in the same kindly and charitable spirit in which it has been prepared. There are many facts herein that are not contained in any other History of this county, and it is thought that there are few persons, who have lived to the age of manhood and womanhood here, who may not be able to find some fact or event herein that will be of interest to themselves and their families and friends, and that it may be an incite ment to greater interest in the study and investigation of the real sub stantial facts and history of our people, their homes and interests, than which, it is believed, no subject should be of greater importance to their material interests. And now, having resided within the limits of the territory of which this county is composed during its entire existence as Jersey County, and having no desire, or aspiration, other than the full measure of prosperity and success for all of its citizens, this work is submitted to their candid and kindlv consideration.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of Jerseyville, Illinois: 1822 to 1901 This volume I now respectfully dedicate to the citizens of Jerseyville, Ill. I am not unmindful of the many kind and encouraging words spoken to me by almost all the citizens of Jerseyville, while in course of writing and construction, especially am I endebted to Editor Becker for his many sensible pointers which have been very helpful. This book contains a history of our City, covering a period of seventy-nine years, beginning when John Ballard, a pioneer squatter who built his cabin on Abija Davis' farm in the north part of the city in 1822, before a foot of land was entered, in or near, Jerseyville. Taking this date for my starting-point, I have systematically followed the rise and progress of our city to the present moment, giving an impartial and correct account of all her internal improvements, every business interest which has risen and passed away, with all that remains; every profession, whose representatives have passed away, or remain with us; every occupation once followed, and is still followed; the churches, their organization, growth; with the successive change of their pastors, and when; our educational system, of which our citzens are justly so proud; have all been carefully, but of necessity briefly, represented. This volume is also embellished with portraits of about one hundred and fifty of our citizens, some of them the early pioneers, others early professional and business men, with the larger part of the professional and business men who remain with us, with some twenty children placed in groups, altogether covering in their lives a period of about one hundred and ten years. When all these faces are hid in the tomb, this memorial book will reveal to the survivors many reminiscences of by gone day. I have spared neither pains nor labor in canvassing every inch of the business and human life of Jerseyville, to make this a volume absolutely correct and complete in all its statements.
