About this product

Product Information

Did you kw that Chicago was named for a wild onion? Or that the only president born in Illiis was Ronald Reagan? Or that the Ferris Wheel, processed cheese, the game of softball, the fly swatter, and the automatic dishwasher were all invented by Illiisans? You'll find these stories and hundreds more in Roadside History of Illiis, an entertaining and revealing tour of the Prairie State's historical places. Native Illiisan Stan Banash describes the state's diverse history as he guides readers along its highways and byways, sometimes tracing routes with a history of their own (the Old Cumberland Road, the Trail of Tears, the Lincoln Highway, and U.S. Route 66, for examples). The engaging text is enhanced with 120 historical and modern photos, along with a map for each region. Old-timers, newcomers, and visitors alike will love this info-packed history.
