Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Waller's Brief History of Illinois
Illinois has contributed so largely to American history that we cannot fully comprehend the story of our beloved country unless we know something of the trials and triumphs of the people who have given to Illinois its prominence in national affairs.
It is my aim here to present the important facts in Illinois history in chronological order and in brief and tangible shape without making any attempt at rhetorical display.
