Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Early Lee County, Being Some Chapters in the History, of the Early Days in Lee County, Illinois
Reference is made to some public record, report or document whenever one could be found. When such evi dence could not be had, my resort was to newspapers, pri vate letters or records or books written or published about that time, in the belief that such contemporaneous statements are more likely to be free from error than those made years afterwards. In some instances the private records and the public records differ, and the lat ter are followed, the entries being contemporaneous with the event. Every statement of fact is based on evidence of one of the kinds mentioned, though references have been omitted in some places.
