I want to thank IR readers who have asked how to order my new history of Illinois from 1854 to 2012. The book is called Land of Lincoln, Thy Wondrous Story: Through the Eyes of The Illinois State Society and the ISBN number is 9780915463954. It can now be ordered directly from the publisher, Jameson Books in Ottawa, Illinois, by calling 1-800-426-1357. The price from Jameson is $29.95 postage paid. The book has 512 pages including never-before-published-photos and an index of 2,000 persons. Readers will find many biographies and colorful stories about Illinois politics in both parties over a span of 158 years of state history.
