A renaissance in Illinois history scholarship has sparked renewed
interest in the Prairie State's storied past. Students, meanwhile,
continue to pursue coursework in Illinois history to fulfill degree
requirements and for their own edification. This Common Threads
collection offers important articles from the Journal of the
Illinois State Historical Society. Organized as an approachable
survey of state history, the book offers chapters that cover the
colonial era, early statehood, the Civil War years, the Gilded Age
and Progressive eras, World War II, and postwar Illinois. The
essays reflect the wide range of experiences lived by Illinoisans
engaging in causes like temperance and women's struggle for a
shorter workday; facing challenges that range from the rise of
street gangs to Decatur's urban decline; and navigating historic
issues like the 1822-24 constitutional crisis and the Alton School
Case. Contributors: Roger Biles, Lilia Fernandez, Paul Finkelman,
Raymond E. Hauser, Reginald Horsman, Suellen Hoy, Judson Jeffries,
Lionel Kimble Jr., Thomas E. Pegram, Shirley Portwood, Robert D.
Sampson, Ronald E. Shaw, and Robert M. Sutton.
