It's not every day, or even every week, that I get to order two
promising new books about Illinois -- one from an old friend, one from a
new one:
James Krohe Jr., Corn Kings and One-Horse Thieves: A Plain-Spoken History of Mid-Illinois (Carbondale: Southern Illinois University Press, 2017), $29.50
Darcie Hind Posz, The Chicago Stones: A Genealogy of Acquisition, Influence and Scandal (lulu.com, 2017), $14.99
(And a hat tip to Barbara
Mathews for posting about
the Stones book on Facebook!)
