Elaine Evans / Thursday, June 6, 2019 / Categories: Illinois Heritage, General News Illinois Heritage, May–June 2019 Volume 22, Number 3 The Illinois State Historical Society celebrates its 120th birthday on May 19. The organization has seen a lot of history unfold in those years––two world wars, women’s suffrage, several pandemics, and more technological, social, and cultural changes than our fore-fathers and mothers could ever have imagined. In this issue of Illinois Heritage we look at several fascinating people, places, and events in our state’s past that will stir your imagination and, perhaps, inspire you to visit your local library. While you’re there, ask if your library is a member of the ISHS, or if it subscribes to our publications. If they do not subscribe, encourage them to call us at 217-525-2781. We would love to have them share the resources of the Society with their readers. Thanks for your support––all of you––for helping us do the work of recording and interpreting our Prairie State history. Share your Heritage. Know your past. Previous Article 2019 King V.
