Download or read book History of Illinois Classic Reprint written by Luther Emerson Robinson and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-09 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of Illinois It is important that every American citizen should know the history of his state as well as the history of his country. This knowledge of state history can best be acquired in the public schools, and it is primarily to furnish a convenient and comprehensive text for the schools of the Prairie State that the authors have prepared this History of Illinois. It is believed that teachers who use the book will be able to make the study of Illinois history more interesting and instructive if they correlate it with the history of the United States, using the history of the nation as a background for the study of state history. It will be easy to show pupils how the state history fits into the story of the nation, especially in chapters of state history on such subjects as Joliet and Marquette, La Salle, George Rogers Clark, The French and Indian War, Slavery in Illinois, Railroads, Lincoln-Douglas Debates, and Outbreak of the Civil War. If the school library contains books treating of the particular topics where the state history and national history meet, the plan of correlating the two subjects should include references for outside reading.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Making of Illinois: A History of the State From the Earliest Records to the Present Time Notwithstanding the fact that there is so much that is honorable and glorious in her steady progress, from a wilderness of prairies to a great and populous State, the history of Illinois is unfamiliar to most of her citizens. The youth in her public schools are better acquainted with the early history of Virginia, or Massachusetts, than with the stirring events connected with the establishment of their native State, and we should encourage our boys and girls in the study of the history of their State and strengthen the love for Illinois.

Treeless, level or slightly rolling, extremely fertile, the surface of Illinois has made its contribution to her greatness.

While thus working he attracted the attention of a Mr. Burns, a shoe dealer of Peoria, Illinois, who offered him employ ment and brought him to this city in 1891.
