Recenzii
"The guide is easy to read and the author poetic in his descriptions. . . . The book also has an extremely well-researched appendix that includes additional sites within regions for the reader to explore." --Journal Gazette and Times-Courier
"Charles Titus taught Illinois history to a generation of students at Eastern Illinois University. Now this book will guide many more through essential sites in the four corners of the Prairie State. Hungry for more? Then visit 'additional sites' and peruse his carefully pruned bibliography. You’ll be glad you did!"--Debra Reid, The Henry Ford
