Description

NEW Arcadia Publishing Dixon, Illinois, IL 9780738572741 Images of America Trade This fascinating addition to the Images of America series offers a glimpse into the unique history of Dixon, Illinois, with more than 200 historic photographs.In the spring of 1830, John Dixon settled with his family near the Rock River in Northern Illinois. Dixon, Illinois, soon grew as men crossed the river here on their way to work in the mines at Galena. In 1832, the Black Hawk War brought a number of now-famous men to this remote outpost of civilization. Winfield Scott, Zachary Taylor, Robert Anderson, Abraham Lincoln, and Jefferson Davis were all here, each of them equally unconscious of future immortal honors. The act of the Illinois General Assembly creating Lee County was approved February 27, 1839, with Dixon officially becoming the county seat on May 31, 1839. Dixon was on its way to fast becoming a central point in Illinois, well known for its industry, beautiful scenery, and the enchantment of the Rock River Valley.The fascinating story of Aurora's industries is recalled through the photographs of the workers themselves--many of which have never been published. Also featured in Aurora, Illinois, is a look at a master photographer and his son, who ran the foremost studio in Aurora. An 1887 description of downtown Aurora, written by a high school student who was a contemporary, is also included in this welcome new addition to the Images of America series.

  3. Quality was first rate. The book seemed brand new; appearance was perfect and uncreased. It was carefully bubble wrapped and packed inside a cardboard wrapper for media, as I mentioned it was a Xmas gift and was concerned - it might get damaged in shipment, but NO, it got the very BEST care and packing, despite being a paperback. I feel I got great value for my money, and the best consideration possible from the seller. I HIGHLY recommend the seller! A++++
