Illinois in the Fifties: Or A Decade of Development is a historical book written by Charles Beneulyn Johnson and published in 1918. The book provides a detailed account of the state of Illinois during the 1850s, a decade of significant development and progress in the state's history. The author describes the various aspects of life in Illinois during this period, including the state's economy, politics, education, and social life. He discusses the state's rapid growth and expansion, fueled by the construction of railroads and the influx of immigrants. The book also delves into the state's role in the national political scene, particularly in the lead-up to the Civil War. Johnson examines the state's political leaders and their positions on slavery, as well as the state's contributions to the Union war effort. Throughout the book, Johnson draws on primary sources, including newspapers, government documents, and personal accounts, to provide a comprehensive and detailed picture of life in Illinois during the 1850s. Overall, Illinois in the Fifties is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of Illinois or the United States during this important period of development and change.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
