Jason Stacy: Colonel Benjamin Stephenson and the History of Early Illinois, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

Colonel Benjamin Stephenson and the History of Early Illinois details the life of Colonel Benjamin Stephenson through unique access to primary sources, including the house in which Stephenson lived--and which still stands--and connects it to the larger history of the surrounding area, state, and country. Once published as a series of articles, Denny's unpublished manuscript was discovered in 2024, just months after his passing. This book continues his legacy, informs modern readers of the significance of Colonel Stephenson, and situates his life story among the broader and deeper history of Illinois pioneers and American politics.
