Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1911 edition. Excerpt: ... CHAPTER XLIV. HEROES AND DISTINGUISHED PEOPLE. J. G. CANNON--W. J. CALHOUN--J. W. WILKIN--MRS. MARY HARTWELL CATHERWOOD--HIRAM W. BECKWITH--GURDON HUBBARD--SAMUEL M'ROBERTS--REV. JAMES ASHMORE HARVEY SOWDOWSKY RT. REV. VICAR GENERAL O'REILLY-- COL. O. F. HARMON--J. C. DAVIS--MICHAEL KELLEY. Every community, however small, has its representative heroes. Sometimes they are heroes of war, and sometimes they are the no less heroes of peace. Vermilion County has these, and the list is much longer than limited space will permit of naming. This is the reason that in compiling this list, local celebrities have been passed and only those whose influence was away from, as well as at, home, have been mentioned. This list of distinguished people is, as a matter of course, headed by the name of Speaker Cannon. Danville and Vermilion County are both better known as being the home of Speaker Cannon, than in any other way. Mr. Calhoun is a conspicuous figure in the world of affairs, and his citizenship, although more remote, is none the less valid. Judge Wilkin was a citizen of whom any community would be proud even though he had not won the distinction he did. Vermilion County has not been without people distinguished in the world of letters, and the writings of Mary Hubbwell Catherwood has made her home place distinguished. Mr. Hiram Beckwith was a recognized historian of merit. The state of Illinois loves to do him honor. Gurdon Hubbard is a representative of the past whose efforts should not be forgotten. Samuel McRoberts is one of the forgotten statesmen of that period of national life which tried men's souls. He represents Illinois as United States Senator. Aside from the field of politics and letters, there have been other walks in life where...

Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of Vermilion County, Illinois, Vol. 1 of 2 From the time that the first White settler cast his lot within the borders of What is now Vermilion County to the present, stretches a period of years marked by the most momentous events in the world's history. Since that time the territory now comprising Vermilion County has changed from an unbounded waste, rich in potential great ness, but all undeveloped, into an empire in extent and a kingdom in wealth, prosperity and the influence of its people. In the preparation of this history former publications of a kindred nature and newspaper files have been freely consulted in an effort to reconcile some of the discrepancies of earlier writers. In many instances the aid of men, long residents of the county and authorities on these particular subjects, have been invoked, and the writer takes a reason able pride in having grouped in sequence the story of Vermilion County, which includes the salient facts of old histories, a wealth of new material, and a history that follows the course of the county from that day in 1819, when the first log cabin was erected, down to the begin ning of 1930. Although the writer realizes that in a work of this scope sins of omission have been committed, yet he trusts that the accuracy of this history is commensurate with the effort that has been made to make it what it is. There has been no attempt at fine writing, but only an earnest effort to tell in plain simple language the story of Vermilion County, its institutions and its people. The histories of Vermilion County by Hiram W. Beck with and the later one by Miss Lottie Jones, the Centennial Book by Clint Clay Tilton, and the History of Hoopeston, by S. V. Cox, published by the chronicle-herald, have been sources of considerable material, as well as have been the files of the Commercial News, the Morning Press, and other old newspaper files. If this history proves of interest to the present genera tion, and a source of study and reference for future generations, the writer will feel repaid a hundred fold for the time and effort expended.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of Vermilion County Illinois, Vol. 1: A Tale of Its Evolution, Settlement, and Progress for Nearly a Century Vermilion County, as such, has been known less than a hundred years. The territory now known as Vermilion County had been recognized by the civilized world as a part of variously named lands for a century and a half previous to its organization as a county of the great state of Illinois. First it was as a part of the "Country of the Illini," or maybe the Valley of the Oubache; then, successively as the Illinois Country, New France, the British Domain, the Illinois County of Virginia, the Northwest Territory, the Indiana Territory, the Illinois Territory and at last, as a county of the state of Illinois. Each name involves a different story, and although permanent occupation by the white man did not begin until after it became a part of the state of Illinois, yet the beginning of the history of Vermilion County, must be sought in the beginning of the history of the territory of which it is a part. The account of the beginning of any section of the United States, east of the Alleghany Mountains is sought in the founding of Jamestown, the landing of the Pilgrims at Plymouth Rock, the discovery of the great river by Henry Hudson, or, it may be, the building of old St. Augustine.
