Download or read book Looking for Lincoln in Illinois written by Guy C. Fraker and published by SIU Press. This book was released on 2017-11-10 with total page 151 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For twenty-three years Abraham Lincoln practiced law on the Eighth Judicial Circuit in east central Illinois, and his legal career is explored in Looking for Lincoln in Illinois: A Guide to Lincoln's Eighth Judicial Circuit, the first guidebook to the circuit. Guy C. Fraker directs readers and travelers through the prairies to the towns in which Lincoln practiced law. Twice a year, spring and fall, Lincoln's work took him through the circuit's fourteen counties, a ten- to twelve-week journey covering more than four hundred miles. As his stature as a lawyer grew, east central Illinois grew in population and influence, and the circuit provided Lincoln with clients, friends, and associates who became part of the network that ultimately elevated him to the presidency. Fraker guides travelers down the long stretches of quiet country roads that gave Lincoln time to read and think, shaping his views of democracy and governance, to the locations where Lincoln's broad range of cases expanded his sense of the economic and social forces changing America. This addition to the Looking for Lincoln series provides detailed directions, five maps of the routes, and more than one hundred images of the people that impacted Lincoln and the places where so many formative events occurred. Showcasing courthouse markers, county line markers, Looking for Lincoln Wayside Exhibits, and numerous other points of interest, this unique guidebook invites travelers to visit the towns where Lincoln practiced law, view the terrain that is much the same now as when Lincoln passed, and perhaps experience a sense of Lincoln's presence in those quiet, out-of-the-way places.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner, ISHS Superior Achievement Award, 2016 Although they inhabited different political, social, and cultural arenas, Abraham Lincoln and the pioneer generation of Latter-day Saints, or Mormons, shared the same nineteenth-century world. Bryon C. Andreasen’s Looking for Lincoln in Illinois: Lincoln and Mormon Country relates more than thirty fascinating and surprising stories that show how the lives of Lincoln and the Mormons intersected. This richly illustrated and carefully researched book expands on some of the storyboards found on the Looking for Lincoln Story Trail, from the Mormon capital of Nauvoo to the state capital of Springfield. Created by the Looking for Lincoln Heritage Coalition, this trail consists of wayside exhibits posted in sites of significance to Lincoln’s life and career across fifty-two communities in Illinois. The book’s keyed maps, historic photos, and descriptions of battles, Mormon expeditions, and events at inns, federal buildings, and even Lincoln’s first Illinois log cabin connect the stories to their physical locations. Exploring the intriguing question of whether Lincoln and Mormon founder Joseph Smith ever met, the book reveals that they traveled the same routes and likely stayed at the same inns. The book also includes colorful and engaging looks at key figures such as Brigham Young, various Mormon apostles, and more. Anyone inspired by Lincoln, as well as Mormon and Illinois history enthusiasts, will appreciate this look back at a long-past, but not forgotten, landscape.
