Book excerpt: Excerpt from Augustus Conant: Illinois Pioneer and Preacher It touches one to read these things now, and to feel, as you read, that they must have come out of the heart of a man who was all on fire about them. Now they are as dead as the hand that trembled over the pages when they were penned. One or two things still have a spark of life left. Here is a sentence from the introduction to Thoughts on a Man's Spirit being generated with his Body After a long travail of mind about what constitutes or makes up the man, I am now about to conclude, or indeed have con cluded, that I have always been entirely mistaken about the whole matter.

Book excerpt: "Pioneer Life in Illinois" by F. M. Perryman explores life in Illinois from many points of view. As the author himself has been born and brought up in Illinois, there is a nativity and originality to his work. Taking place near the turn of the century, much of Illinois was relatively barren, leaving many residents to be resourceful and live off the land. Though the state is now much different, remnants of pioneer life still remain.
Book Synopsis A Woman's Story of Pioneer Illinois by : Christiana Holmes Tillson
Download or read book A Woman's Story of Pioneer Illinois written by Christiana Holmes Tillson and published by SIU Press. This book was released on 1995 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Christiana and John Tillson moved from Massachusetts to central Illinois in 1822. Upon arriving in Montgomery County near what would soon be Hillsboro, they set up a general store and real estate business and began to raise a family. A half century later, in 1870, Christiana Tillson wrote about her early days in Illinois in a memoir published by R. R. Donnelley in 1919. The Tillsons lived quite ordinary lives in extraordinary times, notes Kay J. Carr, introducing this edition. They moved west and prospered in the land business at a time when America was being transformed from a rural, agricultural country into an urban, industrial nation. Their views and sensibilities, Carr says, might seem strange to us, but they were entirely normal to people in the early nineteenth century. Thus Tillson's memoir provides fascinating but believable snapshots of ordinary nineteenth-century American life.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Two Circuits: A Story of Illinois Life The next friend says, many of them are underdrawn. So to strike an average, I have left it as originally written. It is in no sense an autobiography. Names and places are mostly fictitious; yet the majority of the incidents are as I, and others saw and heard them. They did not always transpire in the order here given. I had a love for the hardy yeomanry of the ear lier days; for their honest, happy, off-hand man ners, modes of thought and speech. I was at home among them for years, enjoying their labor, humor, privations, pleasures and worship. I have aimed to make the characters original, fresh and alive with the buoyancy and vivacity of pioneer life.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Early Pioneers and Pioneer Events of the State of Illinois: Including Personal Recollections of the Writer; Of Abraham Lincoln, Andrew Jackson, and Peter Cartwright, Together With a Brief Autobiography of the Writer I urged upon my uncle the privilege and duty even that rested with and upon him, to put his newspaper and fugi tive writings into final form for book publication, so that they could pass into the permanent literature of the State and not perish. It was easily seen that the terse and oft times quaint statements of facts and events had a peculiar attractiveness of expression of their own, and the honesty and candor that permeate every line of his writings doubly assure a recognition of value.

Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1919 edition. Excerpt: ... of pioneer 91lUnote Amherst, Mass., June 28, 1870. My Dear Daughter: HENEVER you have expressed a wish that I would write out some of my early western experiences, I have felt an inclination to comply with your request, but ill health and other hindrances have prevented. As writing is not my forte, I do not feel that I can produce anything which will at present interest you much; but my own appreciation of every record left me by my good mother and my dear husband makes me feel that I may leave you something which will interest you in after life, more than at the present time. Although you have spent the greater part of your life at the West, the accumulation of comforts, and the luxuries and improvements forty or fifty years have brought, and which are there so liberally enjoyed, forbid the realization of frontier life to those who have not by stern experience passed through such an ordeal; and though we have many pleasant recollections, I think, as a whole, the retrospect is preferable to the reality. Few would like to again pass through the bitterness for the sake of enjoying the remembrance of the few sweets. Your father's date of western life was three and a half years earlier than mine. He went to Illinois in the spring of 1819, and I did not go until the autumn of 1822. He, of course, had a sterner experience of backwoods life than I had; he also had a stronger development of hope, and a most indomitable energy that carried him through all the disagreeables that came in his way. It is rare to find one so amiable in every relation in his intercourse with the world, both socially and in business transactions, who yet could be so determined and persevering in whatever he undertook to do. His boyhood and early manhood were spent with...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Reminiscences of Pioneer Life This is not much of a book. But I want you to buy this book, and! Read it. It is a simple story, told in a simple way, of the simple pioneer life as it was lived in the log-cabin homes, on the western frontier, in the long, long ago. And it is every whit true. Freck, the writer, is an old pioneer, one of the com mon people; and the story is written about the common people, and it is written for the common people. And you remember that Abraham Lincoln said, God loves the common people; this is why He made so many of them. Now, be good to yourself, and buy and read this book. This is all I have to say.

Download or read book Life of a Woman Pioneer written by James Elder Armstrong and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-21 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Life of a Woman Pioneer: As Illustrated in the Life of Elsie Strawn Armstrong, 1789-1871 This little volume was inspired over sixty years ago, when, as a boy of from ten to fifteen years old I was very much impressed by the accounts my grandmother, Elsie Strawn Armstrong, recited to me from time to time of her early life in pioneer days of Pennsylvania, Ohio and Illinois. She called her stanzas poetry and I supposed they ranked well with those of Longfellow and Whittier. I was impressed too, with her ability to recall her lines verbatim if given a word or two to start off on any event of her life story. I also soon learned after she came to live at my father's home that if I wished to play on the grass I must find a place remote from the house, for if seen on the lawn in front of her window, there would be a tap, tap on the glass and I would have to go to her room and sew carpet rags or thread, what seemed to me, a hundred needles. My father instructed me that I must wait on her and run errands for her whenever needed and that seemed to me to be most of the time. Nevertheless I recognized that she was deserving of attention for she was nearly blind when she first came to live with us in 1861, so I served her as cheerfully as a boy of that age could be expected to do. I kept her wood-box filled with firewood, carried out the ashes and worst of all, I had to pull out her stumps of eye-lashes as often as they were long enough to be grasped by the tweezers. I do not recall whether it was her suggestion or my own, that some time, I should publish her rhymes so that her book might be sold in the shops as other books of poetry were. At any rate I carried that intention in mind several years. At last when a complete type-written copy of all her rhymes was prepared by one of my brothers, I thought I would now begin the long deferred task and prepare a copy for the printer, but I soon saw that to correct her English would destroy the rhythm and rhymes. I spent some time trying to do the impossible and then gave it up for another series of years. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Pioneer of Freedom: An Address Delivered Before the Fourteenth Annual Meeting of the Illinois Historical Society Upon the Life and Services of Benjamin Lundy In obedience to your most kind invitation, I wish to bring to you, as far as my time will allow, something of this man. Shall we not first profitably inquire into his times, and the day and generation in which he lived and which he served? The period from 1800 to 1830 may well be called, in discussing the question of human slav ery, a period of stagnation. Slavery, introduced into Virginia in 1619, had fastened itself upon the country, North and South alike. In the North, however, the slaves were used only for domestic purposes, and being the source of neither pleasure nor profit they soon ceased to be a factor in its domestic or political economy. In the South, on the contrary, the milder climate, contributing as it did to the lassitude of the white population, became a fitting environment for the negro. Yet even there for a century and a half the slave had no special economic significance, and above all, was not a source of any great profit.
