THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER“Takes off with a bang—literally...V. I. remains a paragon among PIs, and Fire Sale is one of Paretsky’s best books yet.”—St. Louis Post-Dispatch A conscience can weigh a PI down more than the heaviest firearm—and get her into more trouble too. It’s that nagging conscience that makes V. I. Warshawski agree to fill in as coach for the girls’ basketball team at her South Chicago alma mater—which in turn leads her to the headquarters of By-Smart, the global retail empire where V. I. hopes to get some desperately needed funds for the struggling squad. But conscience seems to be in short supply at By-Smart...with the exception of Billy Bysen, the earnest teenage grandson of the chain’s gruff, tightfisted founder. And when Billy disappears—along with a mysterious document much desired by By-Smart’s management team—V. I. is hurled onto a twisted, body-strewn path that runs through Chicago’s dirtiest places and reveals some of its dirtiest secrets...

Here are New York Times bestseller Penelope Douglas’s two bestselling novellas in the Fall Away Series, together in one volume for the first time.AFLAMEAll through high school, Jared Trent called the shots. He decided if Tatum Brandt would be happy or sad, fearful or free. He owned her heart, and he played with it like one of his cars. Never again.Two years ago, Jared left town, and Tate’s life is exactly where she wants it to be. Or that’s what she tells herself... Because two years ago, her heart also stopped beating, and no matter the success in school or the support of her friends, there’s only one time every week she can feel that same rush in her blood: Friday nights on the track. That’s hers, not his, and to hell with anyone that gets in her way again. Especially him.NEXT TO NEVERUnder the close watch of the men in her family, Quinn Caruthers has found it nearly impossible to spread her wings—or even date—without her three older brothers, Jared, Madoc, and Jaxon, jumping in to hover. And when a family friend—several years older—from her childhood still holds her heart, she knows they’re going to be a problem. Lucas Morrow is a man, and knowing her brothers, he may as well be forbidden.But Lucas left town and shows no signs of returning. Quinn knows she shouldn’t wait for him anymore....Until a package turns up on her doorstep with no return address and its contents reveal family secrets that threaten to turn her world upside down. She’s never asked about the path of her parents’ romantic history, but she soon learns their happy marriage had a very rocky and passionate start. As she starts to see things around her with new eyes, Quinn will have to make tough choices about whether she’ll keep waiting...or finally go after what she really wants.

Features of Performance Programs Company's Illinois Real Estate License Exam Prep (IL-RELEP):National Principles & Law Key Point Review (60 pages)Real Estate Math Key Formula Review & Practice (20 pages)Illinois-Specific Laws and Regulations Key Point Review (32 pages)National Practice Tests (500 questions)Illinois Practice Tests (125 questions)Illinois Sample Exam (100 questions)We know the real estate licensing exam can be tough, and very nerve-wracking to prepare for. That’s why we created the Illinois Real Estate License Exam Prep (IL-RELEP) the way we did. Since we have been managing real estate schools and developing curriculum for forty years, we know how all this works – or fails to work.IL-RELEP is comprehensive in that it contains both key content review and testing practice. And the text review is Illinois-specific – not just simplistic national content, but terse, relevant and accurate Illinois laws and regulations presented as a well-organized set of state ‘key point reviews’ ideal for pre-test memorization. But let’s not dismiss the importance of the national content either. IL-RELEP’s national key point reviews are a succinct compression of tested national principles and practices that comprise the national portion of state license exams from coast to coast. Our content is drawn from our own national textbook, Principles of Real Estate Practice – one of the most widely used principles textbooks in the country. Finally, our national content, as well as our question selection, is further tailored to the state testing outline promulgated by PSI for Illinois. Thus the breadth and depth of the law reviews and test questions reflect the topic emphasis of your state’s testing service and your Illinois license exam.A word about the test questions… IL-RELEP’s testing practice section consists of ten national practice tests, three state practice tests, and one state exam sample test. The practice tests are roughly 50 questions in length and the sample test is 100 questions. The test questions are designed to cover the content covered by the law reviews – which reinforces your learning of the total body of information tested by your state exam. The questions are direct, to the point, and designed to test your understanding. When you have completed a given test, you can check your answers against the answer key in the appendix. You may also note that each question’s answer is accompanied by a brief explanation, or “rationale” to further reinforce your understanding.In the end, as you know, it’s all up to you. Unlike other publications, we are not going to tell you that using this book will guarantee that you pass your state exam. It still takes hard work and study to pass. But we have done our best here to get you ready. Following that, the most we can do is wish you the best of success in taking and passing your Illinois real estate exam.

Illinois State University was founded in 1857 as Illinois's first public higher education institution. Initially named Illinois State Normal University (ISNU) due to its mission to train teachers, the university gained early national recognition for its work in developing educational philosophies. One of those philosophies, Herbartianism, was brought to ISNU in the 1890s and was cultivated by some of the profession's leading educators, including Charles DeGarmo, head of modern languages and reading at the university. ISNU celebrated 100 years of service in 1957 and, on January 1, 1964, dropped "normal" from its name. Now known as Illinois State University, the institution offers over 130 undergraduate and graduate degree programs ranging from the humanities to the sciences and nursing within its six colleges. With an enrollment of over 20,000 students and over 200,000 alumni, Redbird Nation continues to thrive as it moves toward its third century of academic excellence.

When Tish's philandering husband, Fitz, walks out on her, and goes back on his promise of security to Kat, they're both determined to make him pay—by emptying the safe in his Evanston, Illinois, jewelry store.But when they crack the safe, they're shocked to find almost a million in cash, a stash of hot diamonds, and a glittering pile of gold ingots. What swindle is Fitz working?Now Kat and Tish are on the run with far more than they bargained for—and from far nastier villains than a scheming soon-to-be-ex-husband.

The hidden history of witchcraft in the Land of Lincoln is revealed in this unique study by the author of Haunting Illinois.
 
Although the Salem Witch Trials have drawn focus to New England as the center of witchcraft in American history, the practice was widespread across the Midwest. In Illinois, witchcraft—and witch persecution—have been part of local culture since French explorers arrived in the 17th century. In Witchcraft in Illinois, historian Michael Kleen presents the full story of the Prairie State's dalliance with the dark arts.
 
On the Illinois frontier, pioneers pressed silver dimes into musket balls to ward off witches, while farmers dutifully erected fence posts according to phases of the moon. In 1904, the quiet town of Quincy was shocked to learn of Bessie Bement's suicide, after the young woman sought help from a witch doctor to break a hex. In turn-of-the-century Chicago, Lauron William de Laurence's occult publishing house churned out manuals for performing bizarre rituals intended to attract love and exact revenge.

Follow local historian and "Ghost Lady" Kathi Kresol as she researches the spirits, curses, and curiosities from the Forest City's shadowy past.
 
Just beneath the glossy surface of Rockford's rich heritage lies a dark history of tragedy, a troubled and turbulent past leaving scars that still resonate today. Geraldine Bourbon's final struggle echoes throughout the farmhouse where her estranged husband pursued her with a pistol from room to room before gently laying her corpse on the bed. The sobs of society darling Carrie Spafford still keep vigil over the family plot of the cemetery where she sowed the heartbreak of her twilight years. From the vengeance of Chief Big Thunder to the Witch of McGregor Road, author Kathi Kresol shares the legends and lore of Rockford's haunted history.
 
Includes photos!
 
"There are reasons why Kathi Kresol believes Rockford is so haunted. The tour guide said there are good 'conductors' for the supernatural in the city's downtown area. These factors include being near a body of water, having limestone in the area and the area having a Native American influence." —Beloit Daily News

Sherry is 18, and living with her mom throughout college. A few years back, her mother started a relationship, and will be married in July. Two weeks ago, Sherry and her mother moved into the new man’s house. They noticed a few bizarre things while moving in. A college friend, Lindsay, spent the night and lost her keys. No matter where they looked, they couldn’t find them. A couple days later, Sherry lost her cell phone. Her phone began ringing from inside the dresser drawer. Sherry thought this was strange, especially since that drawer hadn’t been opened.Sherry and Lindsay loved watching ghost hunting shows together, and were intrigued by paranormal activity. Before long, they joked about the ghost who hid things. About two weeks after moving in, Sherry and Lindsay were sitting in the kitchen, chatting while Sherry’s mother cleaned. When she turned the garbage disposal on, it wouldn’t work. She shut it off, and upon reaching in, she found another missing set of keys. Their friend Grant had just visited, and had lost his keys. Lindsay and Sherry immediately began explaining their ghost theory. The three women laughed, and decided the ghost needed a name. Almost instantaneously, Sherry’s mother blurted out the name “Rodney.” Sherry thought this was odd, as her mother was usually meticulous and overthinking. Still, Rodney seemed to fit.

This book attempts to discover the names of the first Polish settlers in Illinois, when they came to Illinois and their stories when possible. Some left complete stories about themselves while others only a very small amount. The time period starts in 1818, the year Illinois became a state and ends in 1850. I found much more information between 1818 and 1850 then I thought I would so I cut the book off at 1850. The Polish settlers are divided into five different categories. 1. Polish Political Exiles from Russia.2. Polish emigrants from mainly German occupied Poland.3. Polish Jews.4. People of Polish descent, those persons with a Polish ancestor.5. Emigrants from an undetermined county whose last names look Polish.

“Such a rare collection of documents . . . is crucial to gain an understanding of Nauvoo during the time of Joseph Smith.”— Steven L. Shields
“Provides historians a chance to view the unprecedented extent of social upheaval, revelatory innovation, and deep confusion present in this important moment in Mormon history.” — Benjamin E. ParkBook Description:
Oliver H. Olney, an early convert to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, fled to Nauvoo, Illinois, following persecution in Missouri. In Nauvoo, Olney became disgruntled with church leadership and viewed Joseph Smith as a fallen prophet. His writings, consisting of journal entries, letters, and booklets, express his concerns about what he viewed as serious iniquity within the Church. Despite his opposition to church leadership resulting in his excommunication, Olney remained in Nauvoo and wrote about the things he witnessed.
The handwritten papers of Oliver Olney are housed in the Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript Library at Yale University and are made available in published form for the first time. They offer historical researchers and interested readers of the early Latter-day Saint movement a unique glimpse from the margins of religious society in Nauvoo. Olney’s writings add light to key events in early Mormonism such as rumors of polygamy, the influence of Free Masonry in Nauvoo, plans to migrate westward to the Rocky Mountains, as well as growing tensions with disaffected church members and rising conflict with Nauvoo’s non-Mormon neighbors.

Evictions are expensive and time consuming that can ruin a tenant’s credit without any guarantee that the landlord will recover any lost rent, or quickly find another tenant. What if there was a way to mutually avoid eviction despite missed rent payments?
The recent pandemic raised awareness of how tenants and landlords can work together to avoid eviction during periods of financial hardship. A Rent Repayment Plan is used by tenants to repay missed rent payments over the remaining term of the lease. Landlords benefit from keeping a valued tenant who, without fault of their own, faced sudden financial difficulty.
If the landlord is willing to help out a tenant experiencing financial hardship, a Rent Payment Plan is simply a legal contract that obligates the tenant to repay what they owe over time, such as monthly installments. The landlord agrees not to pursue eviction in exchange for these installment payments. In essence, the rent payments are still due, but deferred until a later time.
It’s also possible for the landlord to reduce future monthly rent, waive a portion of missed rent, return the security deposit, or use money held to cover the missed rent. The landlord and tenant could also agree to just part ways with the tenant immediately vacating the property while the landlord waives unpaid rent to avoid the extra time and expense of an eviction.
Included are the following documents for a Rent Repayment Plan in Illinois:
- Three-page rent repayment plan (non-notarized)
- One-page Notarized affidavits for the tenant and landlord to summarize the repayment agreement
- Cover letter for the tenant to send a landlord
- Cover letter for the landlord to send the tenant
- Two-page Lease Modification to reduce future monthly rent
- One-page Notarized affidavits for the tenant and landlord to summarize the lease modification
- One-page Tenant Agreement to Vacate (notarized and non-notarized versions)
These documents can be used by either tenant or landlord. Detailed instructions are also included to complete and understand these documents.
Also included is a brief tutorial for artificial intelligence writing your Rent Repayment Plan without an attorney using AI chatbot platforms (ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini).
The author, Michael E. Byczek, has been a licensed Illinois attorney since 2007 (Chicago, IL). He manages his own legal business (https://byczeklaw.com) and has also been a licensed real estate broker (https://byczekbrokerage.com) since 2003.
While only valid for Illinois residents, anybody can use this information to learn the legal requirements of a Rent Repayment Plan and use the documents as a template to write your own version. You may also modify these documents to suit your preferences. You don’t need to be an attorney to write your own legal documents, just make sure the final version is accurate and valid.

« Marseilles, Illinois » existe ; il s’agit d’une petite bourgade au sud du lac Ontario, traversée de part en part par la rivière Illinois. Marseilles avec un s. Mais ce n’est pas de cette ville dont il est question dans ce livre. Ce n’est pas non plus de Marseille, la métropole qui borde la Méditerranée… Marseille, Illinois résulte de la contraction de ces deux réalités. Quant au drame, peu lui importe dans quel décor il se déroule ; il suit son cours, de toute manière, inexorablement… Il met en scène Desmond Rubin, maire de Marseille, Marlene Van den Melk, gardienne de but de l’équipe de football locale - la religion de la cité -, le producteur et les comédiens de Wonderful Life, la série télé qui a fait connaître Marseille dans tout le pays, ou encore Summer Onan, l’architecte dont le projet doit révolutionner la perception architecturale qu’ont de Marseille ceux qui y vivent… Ces personnages, et quelques autres, dont un duo de policiers du MPD, le Marseille Police Department, vont avoir affaire à un commando terroriste intégriste qui projette un attentat majeur à Marseille. L’attentat aura-t-il lieu ? Marseille v-t-elle rester cette ville « où la vie est plus belle » ou bien va-t-elle sombrer dans le chaos ? That is the question…

For the past few years, the Corps has been working on what is known as the Restructured Upper Mississippi River-Illinois Waterway Feasibility Study, the heart of which is a multibillion-dollar proposal to double the length of up to a dozen locks on the river. The Research Council first reviewed the feasibility study in 2001 during controversies over the accuracy of models being used by the Corps to justify lock expansion based on increased demand for barge transportation. More than 100 million tons of cargo--half of it grain destined for international markets, the other half goods such as construction materials, coal, and chemicals--are shipped along the navigation system each year. The locks, which along with dams allow barges to traverse uneven river depths, were originally designed for "tows" of barges up to 600 feet long, but the length of a typical tow has increased, forcing the Corps to look for ways to relieve congestion.
The book finds the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has made good progress in broadening its proposed plan for navigation improvements on the Upper Mississippi River-Illinois Waterway system to give greater consideration to ecological restoration. However, the plan still does not provide sufficient economic justification for expanding locks on the rivers because of flaws in the models the Corps used to predict demand for barge transportation. Little attention is paid to inexpensive, nonstructural navigation improvements that could help better manage existing levels of barge traffic. The revised plan has been usefully expanded to include many creative and potentially useful ecosystem restoration measures. These measures, however, should be more firmly grounded in river science principles and more broadly consider ways the river's ecology might affect or be affected by navigation, recreation and other uses.

This book is a personal journey of the author to find a faith which would give him meaning to both his life and an understanding of life beyond just existing day to day. Along his life's journey he experienced different religions. While he found them fascinating, they did not help fulfill his desire to feel that there was something beyond oneself and being grounded in rigid dogma. It was by happenstance that he came across Taoism from people who became a part of his life when he needed help the most. Their acceptance of him and their kindness and generosity changed his perception of people and of life as a whole. During all that time they asked for nothing of him in return. This act of not asking for the author to join their faith convinced Mr. Nardini that this was the faith he had been searching for. Mr. Nardini has taken this faith back to his native Illinois.

Situated on the Kaskaskia River is the community of Vandalia, Illinois, a town proud of its place in history and excited about its future. Vandalia has proved that as the place where Abraham Lincoln began his political career, and the location of the terminus of the Cumberland Road, it is a town of global historical importance.Vandalia, Illinois contains many previously unpublished photographs, and not only highlights Vandalia's place in Illinois state politics, but also touches on those unique individuals, families, events, and businesses that helped shape it. Vandalia served as Illinois' capital from 1819-1839, when Springfield took over that honor. During the 20 years it served as the capital of Illinois, Vandalia became the starting point for many political and professional careers-most notably a young, beardless Abe Lincoln.

Through 19 chapters, the narrative examines the city's transformation across different eras—its early development as a transportation and trade hub, the explosive industrial growth of the 19th century, and the challenges of deindustrialization and economic restructuring in the 20th and 21st centuries. The book delves into Chicago's social and political history, highlighting key moments such as the Great Chicago Fire, the rise of political machines, labor movements, the Civil Rights Movement, the turbulence of the 1968 Democratic National Convention, and the challenges of race, crime, and inequality in the modern era.The city's complex racial dynamics, particularly the struggles of African American, Latino, and immigrant communities, are explored in depth, as well as the role of the political machine in shaping both governance and urban development. The book also examines Chicago's cultural renaissance, from its musical and artistic movements to its architectural innovations, highlighting the city's constant reinvention. Chicago's evolving role as a global city in the 21st century is assessed, considering the impacts of gentrification, immigration, and political change. Through this comprehensive historical lens, the book offers an insightful analysis of the forces that have shaped Chicago into the dynamic, diverse, and complex city it is today, while raising important questions about the city's future path toward equity, justice, and social cohesion.

"Reliance, Illinois has it all—mystery, politics, war; love, death, and art. Every page is a pleasure."—Karen Joy Fowler, author of We Are All Completely Beside OurselvesIllinois, 1874: With a birthmark covering half her face, thirteen-year-old Madelyn Branch is accustomed to cold and awkward greetings, and expects no less in the struggling town of Reliance. After all, her mother, Rebecca, was careful not to mention a daughter in the Matrimonial Times ad that brought them there. When Rebecca weds, Madelyn poses as her mother’s younger sister and earns a grudging berth in her new house. Deeply injured by her mother’s deceptions, Madelyn soon leaves to enter the service of Miss Rose Werner, prodigal daughter of the town’s founder. Miss Rose is a suffragette and purveyor of black market birth control who sees in Madelyn a project and potential acolyte. Madelyn, though, wants to feel beautiful and loved, and she pins her hopes on William Stark, a young photographer and haunted Civil War veteran.

Murder on a remote farm in Schuyler Co., IL will challenge the ability of the new Sheriff to solve it. He asks two colleagues, the Sheriff's of neighboring counties, to help him investigate and to bring the murderer to justice. Characters from previous numbers of this series, such as Martha Jo (now a lawyer's investigator) and Eddie Hawkins, Sheriff Thompson from Lewistown, former Judge Lucius Knowles, and some members of the local underworld soon become part of the story. New characters include venerated doctor Dohner, who makes house calls and charges $5 for any office visit and who serves as the County Coroner, help move the story along.The three sheriffs focus their efforts on a number of possible killers. The victim's husband, her employer (a local Gentleman's Club manager), her neighbor, and even one of the Sheriff's deputies. Odd clues and contradictory stories make trying to exclude suspects nearly impossible. The whole matter is complicated by the fact that one of the suspects is convinced that another one is guilty and he sets out to take personal revenge, an impulse putting many other people in harm's way.Knowles uses his contacts from the past to enlist help from a Chicago office of a Federal Agency. An undercover agent, ' Dorothy T. from Tennessee', gets a pole and lap dancing job at the Gent's Club and gathers valuable information. Martha Jo button holes dozens of truck drivers in the Club parking lot to try to get leads. Eddie uses his technical skills to help detail the activities of those in the Club who might be running drugs and women from St. Louis.Finally, the killer is revealed, and taking hostages, the killer fleas back into the Devil's Ridge area of the county, hoping to outrun the packs of lawmen hunting for them.As usual in my stories, some live, some die, and all play their parts in the continuing drama of Forgottonia, the native's name for Western Illinois.

I started this book about two years before I decided to retire. My regular job at that time was the daylight Geismar road switcher. A nice young man was my student engineer and I taught him many things to help him become a very good locomotive engineer. He was very appreciative and he loved the thought of becoming an engineer. Because my young student was rapidly becoming better with each passing day, I wasnt working very hard at Geismar. Therefore, I was doing a lot of work on my book at home each day. In spite of all these facts, I wondered if I would ever get my book published. The more I thought about it all, I kept getting frustrated, discouraged, and those feeling prompted me to place my book on the top shelf of my bedroom armoire. My book stayed there for a long time. Then one day, after a lot of years of enjoying being a man of leisure, I started thinking - perhaps I should start on my book again. Even after I began writing again, I had many times that I would get discouraged, like most would-be authors. Then, my youngest son Philip introduced me to a very gracious, very sweet lady who said that she was going to help me. About the time I had just about finished my book, I took it to her lovely home so she could read it. The next time we saw this sweet lady, she informed Philip and me that she had edited every page and there was to be no charge! I was overwhelmed! Both Philip and I really appreciate all the very helpful things she has done for me and my book. She has given lots of sage advice, and she has made lots of great suggestions that we deeply appreciate. Without her wonderful help, this book would have never have been published. The book is a reflection of memories of events that occurred during my days as a railroader. The events are not in chronological order, and they span days of service on the Illinois Central Railroad, the U.S. Army 770th Railroad Operating Battalion in Alaska, the Philippines, and Korea.

Illinois’s wildlife has always played an important role in the history of human beings inhabiting the state. Native Americans depended on birds, mammals, and fish for sustenance and the state’s first Europeans came in search of Beaver and buckskins. Although the state’s wildlife is still an important resource for human consumption, wildlife is also increasingly important in today’s culture for its intrinsic, aesthetic value. For many Illinoisans, the age-old traditions of hunting and fishing have been replaced by a desire to simply observe wildlife and experience nature. But most Illinoisans are largely unaware of the diversity of species inhabiting their state. This volume is intended to provide an introduction to the state’s fishes, amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals. In The Illinois Wildlife Encyclopedia, nationally known naturalist Scott Shupe has collected information on all the wildlife that reside in the Prairie State. The fourth volume in a series of state wildlife encyclopedias, this book will be a handy, usable, layman’s guide to Illinois’ wildlife. Included are over 800 color photographs, depicting the different species of mammals, reptiles, amphibians, birds, and fish, while also offering over 600 range maps to show their territory. Along with basic information for the biology of each animal, Shupe includes the size, habitat, and abundance of each species located in the state. Whether you’re a lover of the outdoors, photography, or are looking to learn more about your state, this comprehensive guide will teach you about the wonderful wildlife that covers the water, earth, and skies of Illinois.

The technique is as old as Socrates.   Just read a few pages and take a short quiz. When you have covered the material, take the practice quiz. Review any questions you missed and take the second practice quiz. Now you are ready to pass the CDL test.  
The CDL or Commercial Driver's License is your first step to making a great living as a commercial truck or bus driver. Step one is passing the CDL Commercial Drivers License General Knowledge Exam. The test is 50 questions with a minimum passing grade of 80%.    
Once you pass this first test, The state will give you a "learner's" permit. You are legal to drive as long as another CDL Commercial Driver is up in the cab with you.
While you are learning the skills you need to pass the "skills" or driver's test, you can go back to this guide and study your endorsements. As part of a CDL Commercial Driver's License you must pass several "mini" exams in the areas of hauling where you will make your living.                
If, for example you decide to drive a big rig, you will need the "Air Brakes" and the "Combination" endorsements of the CDL Commercial Driver's License Exam. If you go on to pull double or even triple trailers, there is a 20 question test as well. Bus drivers will need a "passenger Transport" CDL Commercial Driver's license. In some cases, you may need to take several tests. For example, If you wish to drive a cement truck, you will need your CDL Commercial Driver's General Knowledge Exam, the "Tank endorsement" and the "Air Brakes" endorsement. It may seem a little confusing at first, and maybe a little difficult, but fear not, this guide contains all of the new learning techniques built into our learning software. We know you love trucks and we used all of the tools available to us to make this interactive CDL Commercial Driver's License guide easy and fun.  With over a thousand Hyperlinks, Videos, Pop-Overs and Media this interactive guide is a simple and easy way to get high scores on your    CDL Commercial Driver's License as well as all of the Endorsements.

The Illinois Central Railroad (ICRR) operated approximately 600 miles of mainline track throughout the Commonwealth of Kentucky, stretching from the Mississippi River to the central part of the state. In addition to Louisville, the state�s largest city, the ICRR also served dozens of small towns. Kentucky�s economy was built around coal mining and farming, and the ICRR played a major role in both industries. ICRR�s coal trains served as a conveyor for Kentucky coal moving to Midwest factories, and the road hauled a wide variety of agricultural products, including tobacco, grain, and fresh fruit. No mention of the ICRR would be complete without discussing the fleet of fast passenger trains that whisked Kentucky residents to and from distant cities. To maintain the locomotives that hauled all these trains the ICRR operated one of the nation�s largest locomotive repair shops in Paducah.

Civil War Soldiers of Edgar County, Illinois: Harrison and William Nay tells the story of two brothers who served in the Civil War and wrote home to their sister from their places of duty. One was young, single, and a volunteer in 1862. The other was forty, married with six children and one on the way, when he was drafted in 1864. The younger was captured in the Battle of Chickamauga and spent nine months in Confederate prisons, finally dying of scurvy at Danville, Virginia. The older was drafted three months after his brother died in 1864 and served in the Army of the Cumberland participating in the Battles of Franklin and Nashville. With the end of the war in April 1865, the older brother was mustered out of the service and returned to his home in time to celebrate the Fourth of July.  There he became a large and prosperous farmer until his death in 1898.This is also the story of their sister, Lucinda (Nay) Yowell and her descendants, who preserved the letters until they came to the attention of the author some 150 years later. The author presents this volume in recognition of the 158th anniversary of the end of the Civil War and in recognition of all the ordinary soldiers who have served “so that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom—and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.”The author, Dr. W. Edward Rolison, is Professor Emeritus and former Head of the Department of the Social Sciences at Southwestern Oklahoma State University at Weatherford, where he taught political science and history for thirty-five years. He recently published On Democracy: Essays on Principles Fundamental to American Government and the 2020 Presidential Election (2023).“Old Abe is a hard man to work for and he pays his hands when he gets ready.” --- Harrison Nay, December 26, 1862.“Harriet informs me she is trying to get me a substitute. If she does, it would suit me very well as this is rather rough for a delicate constitution like mine.” ---William Nay, December 5, 1864.“I heard this morning that old Abe was dead. I don’t think it is so. I am afraid it ain’t. . .. I would pull off my coat and holler a big holler, but I am afraid it ain’t so. Then they would laugh at me. So, I will wait a while.” ---Nay cousin John Lawler, April 16, 1865.“I found the stories to be both interesting and informative from eyewitness accounts of Civil War events. I congratulate the author on his in-depth research in writing this compelling family history.” ---Chris D. Caldwell, JD, Attorney-at-Law and Civil War buff, 2023.

The importance of political moderation in preserving the Union
Holding the Political Center in Illinois charts the political trajectory of Illinois from the introduction of the Kansas-Nebraska Act in 1854 through the firing on Fort Sumter in 1861. Throughout, Iverson focuses on the significance of political moderation in this era of partisan extremes, one in which the very label of “conservative” was contested. Most often framed through the biography of Abraham Lincoln, the turbulence of antebellum-era and political realignment in Illinois has been widely misunderstood, yet the Prairie State’s geographic, economic, and demographic diversity makes it an especially fascinating microcosm through which to examine the politics of self-identified conservatives leading up to the Civil War.
Most politicians and voters in this period claimed to be conservative and stood opposed to radical secessionists and abolitionists. By positioning “conservatism” as a disposition rather than an ideology, Ian. T. Iverson explores how mainstream politicians in the Democratic, Republican, and Know-Nothing Parties employed a shared interpretation of American liberty, history, and institutions to court voters throughout the sectional crisis. Ultimately, this united reaction against secession, which propelled Lincoln and Stephen A. Douglas to rally together behind the Union’s banner in April 1861, rose from an unconditional centrist commitment to the Union—the core value defining conservatism.

Southwestern Illinois experienced a plethora of violence during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Settlers and Native Americans clashed at the Wood River Settlement, while Abraham Lincoln dueled on a Mississippi River island. Racial strife led to the lynching of a Black schoolteacher in Belleville in 1903 and a deadly riot in East St. Louis fourteen years later. Benbow City was a latter-day Wild West town of saloons, gambling dens and brothels, and Pere Marquette State Park screened a cache of Nike missiles. From the birthplace of Martin Luther King Jr.'s killer to the mystery surrounding Jean Lafitte's grave, John Dunphy examines the bloody ledger of southwestern Illinois.

Originally the author's thesis for a master's degree at Illinois State University, this work examines the history fo library automation at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign from the earliest beginnings through the implementation of the Library Computer System (LCS) under the leadership of Hugh Atkinson to the creation of the ILLINET Online (IO) system. All of the chainges are studied in teh contest of the Illinois Board of Higher education (IBHE) mandate for library resource sharing throughout Illinois' academic libraries to reduce expenditures while maintaining quality scholarship and education, and of the effects these changes had on library services to the user population.The process of implementing LCS is studied to show the way in which the library administration handled the various crises as they arose and what effects these decisions had on the long-term structure of the system. Following implementation, it continues to study the subsequent developments of the online computer system to increase service to the library's users. In addition, three doctoral dissertation are examined which used LCS as a research tool for the study of collection and use patterns in academic libraries. Finally, the author examines the results of automation at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in the context of the academic community and the state of Illinois at large, and draws conclusions from them.

I looked but could not see any body; in a moment after I looked to the left and saw sixteen Indians, all upon their feet with their guns presented, about forty yards distant from me, just ready to draw trigger.

The story contained in this book is a true one. It was taken from letters, memoranda and memory. The author has in his possession twenty-nine letters written by him while in the army, from 1861 to 1865, and sent to his relatives, who returned them to him at the close of the war.
The memoranda were written soon after his return from the army. The accounts taken from memory are reasonably correct, as the scenes through which he passed, though here poorly portrayed, are of a character not easily forgotten. They are indelibly stamped upon the memory, and it seems, as time rolls on, that it renders the recollection of them even more vivid and distinct. After revising this story a number of times it is presented to the reader in its present form.

It’s not the department heads. It’s the public employee unions.” Well before these comments appeared I had become a victim of the union I belonged to which was the Illinois Federation of Teachers. I spent years trying to find out about the obligations unions have to dues paying members. I learned that the United States Supreme Court held that unions must back their constituents. I was harassed by my employer, a school district in Illinois, and asked the union for help. I was ignored and filed my own First Amendment law suit in federal court in Chicago. A federal judge’s memorandum held that my case was meritorious and should proceed to court. Armed with that decision I again asked the union for legal help, but was refused. I reported the unions disregard for the ruling to the FBI and was told, “This case belongs in federal court.” The agency made it clear to me that the union was in violation of federal statutes. I determined that unions in Illinois are saving money by not filing law suits for members who have had their civil rights infringed by unscrupulous employers. This plot enables unions to pay union employees outrageous salaries and contribute to campaign funds of politicians who favor union control of Illinois government.
Explained within chapters in the book are moves unions have made that has allowed them to, over the years, get control of Illinois government. How this control came about is a mystery to citizens. The Untold Story About How Unions Took Over Illinois Government is an attempt to clarify and expose what has to be a silent insurrection.

At the age of twenty-two, Abraham Lincoln arrived in New Salem, Illinois, as a "strange, friendless, uneducated, penniless boy" (in his own words). He did not remain friendless for long. Meet the community that welcomed him: Bennett and Elizabeth Abell, the couple who guided him through heartache; Mary Owens, Elizabeth Abell's sister who helped educate him in the realm of the heart; Mentor Graham, the schoolmaster who helped teach him; Bowling Green, the jolly justice of the peace who allowed Lincoln to practice law before his court; and Slicky Bill Greene, who clerked with Lincoln at a frontier dry goods store. Making good use of primary sources overlooked by many historians, Dale Thomas helps flesh out the important story of Lincoln's formative years in Menard County.

With roots dating back to 1851, the Illinois Central Railroad (IC) transported millions of passengers and countless tons of freight. Most trips were completed without incident. However, there were occasional mishaps, including derailments and collisions with other trains or highway vehicles. Most accidents were minor, while others made the national news, such as the October 30, 1972, collision of two commuter trains in Chicago that killed 45 passengers. The IC frequently had to deal with flooding, for the railroad ran in close proximity to several major rivers. In January and February 1937, much of the southern half of the railroad was shut down because of flooding on the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers. This book depicts many of the accidents that have taken place along the Illinois Central through the years. The photographs are drawn from numerous sources, including the railroad's own photographers, amateur photographers, and photography studios.
