Description:Excerpt from Journal of the Illinois State Historical Society, Vol. 10: April 1917In the following pages an attempt is made to trace the development taking place before 1860 in that portion of Illinois lying north Of the southern prairie line. This includes most of the State north Of the mouth of the Illinois River. The development, too, of the transportation facilities which serve this area, and the relation of this development to that taking place in the district itself, form a part of this study. This portion of Illinois is composed of two distinct sections, the river land, and the prairie. These two divisions had, for the most part, distinct and separate histories. The prairie looked to the north for a commercial outlet; it was developed only as that route - Offering lake and rail transportation was made efficient in its carrying facilities. While the river land looked to the south for connections with the outside world, this river section was developed and settled as that route or as steam navigation upon the rivers (imports came in part via Cincinnati and the Ohio River; exports in part via Cincinnati and in part via St. Louis and New Orleans) improved in its carrying power. The chief stimulus to settle ment and development in this section came from river trans portation; in the prairie from transportation by lake and by railroad.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
