Description
Excerpt from Illinois the Story of the Prairie State
And over the coal, from ten to two hundred feet deep, is the rich soil of the prairies. Treeless, level or slightly rolling, extremely fertile, the surface of Illinois has made its contribution to her greatness.
Rich, varied, unusual as are nature''s gifts to the state, they are equaled only by the romance of her history. No other state in the Union has such a background of color and adventure. N 0 other has given more to the story of the nation. Claimed by Spain, explored and occupied by France, held by England, conquered by the American forces, the record is full of variety and interest. And it is not a story merely - the wonderful thing is that it is all true!
