Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Student's History of Illinois The author's experience in teaching Illinois History for the past dozen years justifies the belief that he knows what may be omitted and what Should be included in a good text on Illinois History. The revised edition will have the advantage of this knowledge. Maps and illustrations in history texts are valuable in proportion to what they reveal of the real historic move ment. In this age of illustrated literature and travel, the need of pictures in history texts has greatly decreased. This theory is the justification for the omission of many pictures which appeared in the first edition. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Story of Illinois French fishermen frequented the shores of the Gulf of St. Lawrence as early as 1504. They had no thought of making explorations or settlements. They knew little about the land features of the New World, and the little knowledge they had created scarcely a ripple of interest in France. The coming to the St. Lawrence of James Cartier in 1534 was the first real sign of French interest in America. He was an explorer rather than a founder of empire. His experiment in attempting to plant a colony at Montreal in the winter of 1540-41 proved a failure, and little more is heard of the French in Canada till the coming, in 1608, of Samuel Champlain, a man of great vigor of mind and body, deep insight into human nature and of pure and lofty purposes.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Great City and State: The Story of Chicago and Illinois Many seasons passed and finally warm weather in the North stopped an advancing ice blanket. As the forward tip of the glacier gradually melted, it left the great lake that was to act as a divide for the waters of the region. NO man was here to witness the beginning of a young city. No man was here to see a river formed, the river that's shaped like a Y, but the fact remains that the receding river of ice left Nature's gift to us. It left your heritage and mine: a chain of lakes and a system of rivers affording natural transportation unrivalled in North America; a broad, fertile plain and a stretch Of virgin forest rich hinterland for the Red Man who was to come, for the white man who was to follow.

We are sure that once Lakes Superior, Huron, and Michigan - all three - poured their waters down through our own Illinois River to the Mississippi, then through the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico.

Between these dates the American frontiersmen had found their way to the Illinois and the dramatic struggle of Anglo - Saxon energy with Gallic quietism had begun.
