Book Description
Lake County, Illinois is a place rich in stories of a changing landscape, of native peoples, of transition and invention. It is a place deeply rooted in the history of a nation, of westward expansion and unification during times of trouble. This illustrated history explores the many aspects of Lake County's heritage and takes the reader from glaciers to frontier to settlement and beyond.

Reader Reviews
With loads of pictures and many, fascinating little known details, the author has made the history of Lake County, Illinois, come alive. The book flows from prehistory to native peoples and all the way up until today, with our shopping malls, amusement park, and subdivisions named for the now vanished meadows and woodlands. A wonderful, concise resource of facts about Lake County, Illinois (in the upper northeast corner of the state).
