From the arrival of Marquette and Jolliet in 1673 to the emergence of
        the prairie poets---Edgar Lee Masters, Carl Sandburg, and Vachel Lindsay---in
        the twentieth century, James Gray traces the saga of the Illinois River
        and the people of central Illinois. In vivid prose he depicts such famous
        figures as the French explorer Sieur de La Salle, circuit rider Peter
        Cartwright, abolitionist Elijah P. Lovejoy, and political leader Stephen
        A. Douglas. His chronicle of Illinois history also includes the Indian
        massacre at Starved Rock, life in the French villages of the Illinois
        Country, the struggles of the pioneers, steamboat days in Peoria, and the
        operation of modern towboats on the river.
      Of special interest is Gray's colorful account of the Illinois background
        of Abraham Lincoln. A work of literary art as well as historical interpretation,
        The Illinois is one of the early volumes in the famous Rivers of
        America series.
