Author Description

Excerpt from Papers in Illinois History and Transactions for the Year 1937 Most of the papers published in this volume were presented at the Society's annual meeting at Galesburg, May 13, 14 and 15, 1937. The exceptions are the articles Illinois as Lincoln Knew It: A Boston Reporter's Record of a Trip in edited by Harry E. Pratt, and Campaign Lives of Abraham Lincoln, by Ernest J. Wessen. These are contributions to Illinois history too long for publication in the journal, but too important not to be made generally available.
