We shall never know that story in all its fullness and completeness.For the noble men and women who opened up the way for civilization in all this western country, have long since gone to their reward, andthey have left meager accounts of all the vicissitudes through which they passed when "wilderness was king." We may never realize, fully, what it meant for the men and womenof a century or more ago to leave comfortable homes, devoted friendsand relatives, the associations of childhood, aye, the graves of theirdead, and take up their weary march over mountains, across streams,through trackless forests, to plant new homes in a wilderness inhabitedby wild beasts and wilder men." Southernmost Illinois is where Illinois' European era history began. The Land Between the nation's two largest Rivers - Massac, Pulaski, Johnson, Pope, Alexander and Union counties - was prominent in the earliest activities. Many do not realize its nationally significant history. The crescent shaped section of the Ohio River between Metropolis and Cairo was one of the busiest "interstate highways" of the 1700s and 1800s, carrying settlers and their belongings westward and farm products to market. Volume 1 Includes chapters on 29 counties. Volumes 2 & 3 include biographical sketches of prominent citizens. Professor George Washington Smith served on the faculty of the History Department at Southern Illinois University from 1890 to 1935 and was Professor Emeritus from 1935 until his death in 1945.
