"James A. Edstrom has written what will be the definitive history of the politics of state making in Illinois. This excellent book reminds us that the Land of Lincoln began as the state of transplanted and local slave owners and land speculators on the make. The story helps us all better understand the social and political forces that surrounded the Missouri crisis and the relentless movement of slavery west, even in the old Northwest."-- Paul Finkelman , author of Supreme Injustice: Slavery in the Nation's Highest Court and Chancellor of Gratz College "From cover to cover, this reads as political history at its best. James A. Edstrom unpacks the political landscape of the state, and the nation, and succeeds like no other in recreating the personal and political dimensions of early Illinois. It will be an indispensable study of Illinois's statehood for years to come."-- M. Scott Heerman , author of The Alchemy of Slavery: Human Bondage and Emancipation in the Illinois Country, 1730-1865 "Edstrom constructs a vivid portrait of Illinois's entrance into the Union by skillfully interweaving the biographies of Daniel P. Cook, Nathaniel Pope, and Elias Kent Kane, each young, gifted, ambitious, and influential, and each playing a key role in turning Illinois from a territory into a state. Edstrom's careful scholarship and graceful writing will appeal to scholars and general readers alike."-- Graham A. Peck , author of Making an Antislavery Nation: Lincoln, Douglas, and the Battle over Freedom "An extraordinary scholarly achievement. The author clearly demonstrates a mastery of primary sources as well as secondary ones. In telling the story of Illinois's path to statehood, Edstrom thoroughly explores the issues and personalities at play. The focus on his three main figures--Cook, Pope, and Kane--illuminate not only the times in which they lived but provide background on their personal histories, motivations, goals, successes, and failures. The book's significance for state history cannot be overstated."-- Illinois State Historical Society Awards Selection Committee "Anyone with an interest in early Illinois history will find this examination of the complexities of the statehood process to be an informative and worthwhile read."-- Glenna R. Schroeder-Lein, Illinois Times, "James A. Edstrom has written what will be the definitive history of the politics of state making in Illinois.

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!
