Open Volume II and watch Illinois emerge in numbers and names: a province becoming county, territory, and state. A state takes its shape. John Moses assembles a state history reference of rare breadth, drawn from authentic documents and papers and organised as a historical statistical compendium. Here the story of Illinois settlement and growth is tracked alongside financial administration, industrial progress, internal improvements, and the shifting map of American county histories. This is also a 19th century gazetteer in spirit, alert to towns, institutions, and the practical machinery of government. The complete statistical tables and complete index make it an invaluable working tool, whether you are tracing genealogy and local history, checking historical census statistics, or grounding academic history research in verifiable detail. More than narrative, Moses records the pressures and turning points that shaped the Illinois territorial period and the early Midwest frontier, including political and military events that influenced civic life and public policy. For readers who love the texture of original sources, this volume offers a disciplined, readable archive; for collectors of classic Americana, it stands as a key witness to how nineteenth-century Americans documented their own development. Dip in for a single county, or read end to end as a chronicle of state-building. It rewards browsing and close study, year after year. Republished by Alpha Editions in a careful modern edition, this volume preserves the spirit of the original while making it effortless to enjoy today - a heritage title prepared for readers and collectors alike.
