About This Item
From "Plan and Purpose" page: "Back of this undertaking was a definite purpose, and that purpose was to collect and make permanent a complete account of the growth and development of the social and economic life of the people of the State of Illinois."
"Here will be found farmers and factory owners alongside lawyers, teachers and preachers. Here too will be found the romance of struggle and the joy of success."
Very Good condition. Red and Black Leather Texture over cloth with darkened gold raised design on front, and faded gold text on spine. Very minimal wear to edges and corners, but both top and bottom of spine are worn down to the cloth. Red end papers. Pages are clean and tight. Many photographs.
Please use photos as part of the description.
