Book Description
Excerpt from Illinois, Vol. 1 of 5: The Heart of the Nation I have devoted myself in composing this work principally to the political history of the state rather than its industrial, agricultural and mechanical development, which latter features are so well known as to dispense with recapitulation by figures. I have been more familiar with the political life of the state than with its industrial or educational life, and other writers have treated the industrial, educational and agricultural life of the state with much more thoroughness than I could. When I have stated facts and events I have tried to be ac curate and truthful. When I have expressed opinions they are my own. The publishers have placed no restrictions of any character upon my writings. I am indebted to them for their courteous and honorable dealings with me during the writing of this history and for the prompt and cordial approval of my work.

Excerpt from Illinois in the World War, Vol. 1: An Illustrated Record Prepared With the Cooperation and Under the Direction of the Leaders in the State's Military and Civilian Organizations Since warfare today represents the organized efforts of nations and states, rather than the efforts of individuals, illinois IN the world war is the history of the organizations - military and civilian - through which the people of the state made their contribution to the common cause. It would be impossible to place on record the service of every one of the hundreds of thousands of individuals who had some part in the state's war activities, but because Illinois was so thoroughly organized for war work, the story of the activities of all these individuals is told in the histories of the organizations with which they served.
