by Gerald A. Danzer
Using a variety of illustrations from many sources, author Danzer (Emeritus Professor of History @ UIC) provides an interesting history of Illinois from prehistoric times to the election of Barack Obama. Informative captions and introductory sections at the beginning of each of the twelve chapters magnify the value of the pictures chosen and give perspective to our state's history. This book is a pleasant way to learn more about our immediate surroundings.
