Historical Sketch of Cass County, Illinois by J. Henry Shaw Pdf
Excerpt from Historical Sketch of Cass County, Illinois: An Oration Delivered July 4, 1876, at Beardstown, Ills Le Caron had explored Upper Canada; and twenty years later the hardy and ambitious French traders and voyageurs and zealous missionaries had erected trading posts and missions along the rivers and upon the lake shores now within the jurisdiction of Illinois and Wisconsin. At that period the surface of Illinois was much lower, geologi cally considered, than it is at the present time. Since its creation, the thin crust of the earth has been undergoing slow mutations, breathing, as it were, by centuries; elevating and depressing in the lapse of ages under the in uence of its mighty lungs of fire sinking slowly and imperceptibly beneath their former level continents and islands, and as gradually raising others above the waste of waters.

Lincoln Before Washington by Douglas L. Wilson Pdf
"The provocative selections in this book address topics as disparate as William H. Herndon's informants, Lincoln's favorite poem, his mysterious broken engagement, the text of his debates with Douglas, and a previously unknown assault on Peter Cartwright. Although Abraham Lincoln's early years have come to be regarded as the wrong end of his life, Douglas L. Wilson's original and pathbreaking work makes the case that his prepresidential years offer bright prospects for investigation. Collectively, these essays challenge the general view of Lincoln scholars that William H. Herndon, Lincoln's law partner, is an unreliable source. They also provide a fresh look at some of the affinities between Lincoln and Thomas Jefferson."--Jacket.
