Abraham Lincoln : Speeches and Writings
1832-1858 (Library of America)
by Abraham Lincoln, Don E.
Fehrenbacher (Editor)
Non-Fiction. Studying Presidents of the United
States can be interesting and Abraham Lincoln is probably one of the most
fascinating. This would be a great travel guide to read before visiting the
museums in Illinois that are dedicated to Abraham Lincoln. Deemed a "rewarding
reading experience," this hardbound classic is a must have. |

Return to the Scene of the Crime: A Guide to Infamous
Places in Chicago
by Richard Lindberg
Non-Fiction. A fascinating book that explores some of the most notorious crime
scenes in the Chicago area. These crimes scenes are not often explored in
other research books. The detective in all of us will appreciate the detail
and historical context in which this book was written. This book is not
recommended as a travel guide, but rather just a book about famous cites
within Chicago that involve crime. |

Three Years With the 92nd Illinois: The Civil War Diary
of John M. King
by John M. King, Claire E. Swedberg (Editor)
Non-Fiction. A highly worthwhile Civil War diary. Involves King, the son of a
farmer, who enlisted in the newly formed 92d Illinois Volunteer Infantry in
late summer of 1862 and served to the end of the war. His diary covers his
service through the 1864 Atlanta Campaign and reflects postwar polishing for
publication in the newspaper he edited. Complete with accounts about good and
bad officers, punishments that were just and unjust and much more. A great fit
for Civil War collections.
