This book was released on 2015-07-26 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Early Lee County, Being Some Chapters in the History, of the Early Days in Lee County, Illinois This is not an effort to write a history of any man or any locality. The sole purpose of the work is the collection and preservation of the scarce and almost inaccessible evidence of some of the men and events prominent in the early days of Lee County. It was not prepared to sustain any theory or tradition, but every effort within my power has been made to learn all the facts concerning these men and events and state them correctly. Some old traditions have been shattered, but they were not sustained by the facts, and many of them had no foundation except the loose talk of persons who were ignorant of the matters of which they spoke. Some of my old beliefs, held and cherished since early childhood, have been dispelled, but they were founded upon misinformation. Reference is made to some public record, report or document whenever one could be found. When such evidence could not be had, my resort was to newspapers, private letters or records or books written or published about that time, in the belief that such contemporaneous statements are more likely to be free from error than those made years afterwards. In some instances the private records and the public records differ, and the latter are followed, the entries being contemporaneous with the event. Every statement of fact is based on evidence of one of the kinds mentioned, though references have been omitted in some places. All Indian words appearing on John Dixon's account books are given in the form used there. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Claiming jurisdiction by right of conquest, Virginia, upon the fifth of October, 1778, passed "An Act for establishing the County of Illinois, and for the more effectual protection and defense thereof," which enacted "that all the citizens of this commonwealth who are already settled, or shall hereafter settle on the western side of the Ohio river, shall be included in a distinct county which shall be called Illinois County.' When St. Clair county, our first county, was formed, April, 1790, by the proclamation of Arthur St. Clair, Governor of the Territory of the United States Northwest of the River Ohio, it included all the country between the Illinois, Mississippi and Ohio rivers and a line drawn from the Illinois at the mouth of the Little Mackinaw, a few miles below Pekin, to the Ohio at the mouth of a small stream a short distance above Fort Massac which stood at the eastern edge of Metropolis City. (St. Clair Papers.) Knox county, now entirely within Indiana, was established the twentieth of the following June and embraced, with parts of Indiana, Ohio and Michigan, all the territory in our state east of St. Clair and the Illinois river to the confluence of the Kankakee and Des Plaines and a line due north from that point. (St, Clair Papers.) Randolph was created by proclamation October 5th, 1795, and included all the territory south of a line drawn from the Mississippi through Cove Spring (near Waterloo) to the Knox county line; thence along Knox to the Ohio. (St. Clair Papers.) On August 25, 1796, Governor St. Clair created the Wayne county that is now wholly within Ohio, giving it, with other territory, all of Illinois north and east of a line running from Fort Wayne, Indiana, "westnortherly to the most...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this comprehensive history of the Illinois Chapter of the Black Panther Party (ILBPP), Chicago native Jakobi Williams demonstrates that the city's Black Power movement was both a response to and an extension of the city's civil rights movement. Williams focuses on the life and violent death of Fred Hampton, a charismatic leader who served as president of the NAACP Youth Council and continued to pursue a civil rights agenda when he became chairman of the revolutionary Chicago-based Black Panther Party. Framing the story of Hampton and the ILBPP as a social and political history and using, for the first time, sealed secret police files in Chicago and interviews conducted with often reticent former members of the ILBPP, Williams explores how Hampton helped develop racial coalitions between the ILBPP and other local activists and organizations. Williams also recounts the history of the original Rainbow Coalition, created in response to Richard J. Daley's Democratic machine, to show how the Panthers worked to create an antiracist, anticlass coalition to fight urban renewal, political corruption, and police brutality.
