Paperback. Condition: New. The Illinois Abraham Lincoln lived in-a place of unbroken prairie, steamboats, railroads, log cabins, and rural county seats-long ago gave way to the modern world of interstate highways, commercial farmland, and cities.

Ten other sites, -including the homes of an abolitionist, a farmer, and Illinois governors as well as Joseph Smith's homestead and mansion and Carl Sandburg's birthplace, -reveal how nineteenth-century Illinoisans lived and show that Lincoln's cultural legacy was still very much alive long after he left the state. An appendix features related sites and the Pittsfield talking house tour.A showcase of Illinois heritage, this enlightening guide promotes a new understanding of Lincoln's relationships with family, friends, colleagues, and political allies and inspires readers to visit these historic treasures in person. …
