This makes it a compelling exploration of the problems of local history. Forgetting and the Forgotten presents a historiography of a Jeffersonian tale of progress by white folk who conquered and cultivated the wilderness to create a yeoman farmer democracy. The texts of these tales are mostly found in what Batinski describes as “gilt-covered histories found on parlor tables.” Those accounts are contested by his historiography of inclusion. In these accounts, Batinski voices the forgotten and suppressed stories of the twelfth- to fifteenth-century Mississippian people and the eighteenth- and nineteenth-century Algonquian-speaking people. He writes of those who failed in their settlement efforts and moved on; of those People of Color who drifted into the county as laborers, some of whom were used up; and of those European immigrants who came in to mine coal and build railroads for national corporations. This is not so much a history of Jackson County as it is an examination of the history of Jackson County as a lesson on the uses and abuses of the past.Forgetting and the Forgotten opens with an elegiac retelling of Mississippian cosmology, written from a close reading of stories of origin collected by anthropologists. These are tied to the numerous traces these Mississippians left on the landscape as rock glyphs, earthen monuments, and objects of daily use and ceremony. The visible heritage on the land was turned against the Indigenous peoples whom the white settlers met. Native Americans were accused of being the vicious and debauched people who destroyed the great mound builder civilization. In a transitional chapter, “To Square the Circle,” Batinski shows how understanding of the land was changed from a place of memories that contained ancient stories of origin and place, to the survey grid laid over the Old Northwest by the Ordinance of 1787. The grid was the critical tool of organizing a European system of title, record, and ownership. The implementation of the grid “extinguished” native peoples’ claims.The white settlers recounted their stories of hard work and perseverance. These scripted accounts were based upon widely observed conventions of the meaning of the past and its value. Batinski does a good job of assessing the nature of these nineteenth-century county histories that were commercial enterprises with pro-forma structure and content. These keepers of the past recorded the stories of those who could pay to be included. As a counterpoint, Batinski introduces the stories that were left out, such as the wide resistance in Jackson County to the Civil War. The traditional narratives highlighted General John A. Logan, the Democratic congressman (and former state legislator who had worked to prevent Black migration into Illinois) who bec","PeriodicalId":17416,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Illinois State Historical Society (1998-)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135324757","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Gregory Behle","doi":"10.5406/23283335.116.2.3.05","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.5406/23283335.116.2.3.05","url":null,"abstract":"THE BIBLICAL CAUTION ABOUT PUTTING NEW WINE in old wineskins aptly illustrates the curricular challenges facing the Illinois Industrial University at its founding.1 New wine—an emerging new emphasis on practical education, agriculture, engineering, and military studies—would likely burst the older wineskin of classical higher education embodied in the liberal arts. Existing curricular structures could not sustain the expanding additions of the practical disciplines.The Morrill Act of 1862 ushered in a new era in American higher education. Through the sale of federal land, states were to use revenues to maintain at least one college “where the leading object shall be, without excluding other scientific and classical studies, and including military tactics, to teach such branches of learning as are related to agriculture and the mechanic arts, . . . in order to promote the liberal and practical education of the industrial classes in the several pursuits and professions in life.”2 The land-grant universities created a new paradigm of higher education while preserving traditional elements of the college curriculum. The task was to put the new wine of agriculture, engineering, and military studies into old, venerated wine skins of the classical curriculum without bursting them—a challenge of biblical proportions.3Founded as the Illinois Industrial University, the later named University of Illinois was unique as a land-grant institution. It was to be the flagship public university of Lincoln's home state. Jonathan Baldwin Turner, who has been suggested as the father of the land-grant idea, was an Illinois resident.4 Illinois saw the need to create a new university in keeping with the uniqueness of the land-grant model. While every state accepted the federal offer, the citizens of Illinois were leaders in advocating the land-grant ideal.Illinois took advantage of the Morrill Act by founding the Illinois Industrial University in February 1867. Scheduled to open in March 1868, its founders had thirteen months to establish a course of study that was unique to American higher education.5 Conflicting and vocal interest groups argued their divergent interpretations regarding legislative intent. There was limited precedent in antebellum higher education for the mandated courses. Further complicating the problem was the limited experience of the first university regent, John Milton Gregory, in agricultural, practical, military, and industrial education.6Published three months before opening, an editorial in the Prairie Farmer read: “The most difficult task before the Board was the adoption of courses of study, for, after all, the great question is, what shall be taught in these latter-day institutions? In what respect shall the education here differ from that given to the student in the already established colleges and universities? How shall the children of the industrial classes be educated to best fit them for the duties of a practical, laboring life?”7This ","PeriodicalId":17416,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Illinois State Historical Society (1998-)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135324758","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"The Irish in Illinois","authors":"William P. Shannon","doi":"10.5406/23283335.116.2.3.11","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.5406/23283335.116.2.3.11","url":null,"abstract":"In this robust yet approachable book, the authors explore the impact of the Irish on Illinois history. While the central argument is that the Irish played an important role in the state's history from its founding, this book does much more than that with its topic. It seeks to outline the differences in the Irish experience in Illinois across time, geography, social, and political structures.At its best, The Irish in Illinois punctures stereotypes about Irish life in Illinois. A superficial observer might conclude that the Irish in Illinois primarily impacted political and social life in Chicago by forming interconnected communities based on Roman Catholicism and Democratic Party politics. While this is true to an extent, the authors assert that the Irish impact on Illinois goes beyond these narrow suppositions.Starting with the pre-statehood period, the authors trace the impact of people coming from a variety of Irish backgrounds and for a variety of reasons. Also of note is the corresponding tracing of developments in Ireland that influenced those who left and how they navigated their new world in Illinois. Immigrants who came during the Great Famine of 1845–1852 differed in composition and motivation from those who came both before and after.Related to this is their argument that the Irish served as a model for subsequent immigrants. Specifically, in their path to integration into American society, the Irish opened a path for groups that came later. Future researchers into this issue would do well to consider this process and how it does (or does not) apply to immigrant groups in both urban and rural contexts.The authors also confront the troubled history of the Irish and race relations in Illinois. They rightly point out the role played by Irish Americans in the race massacres in Springfield in 1908, East St. Louis in 1917, and Chicago in 1919. Cast against the background of their proposed dynamic of assimilation, this complicity and direct involvement in racial violence presents a complex pictureThe authors, in arguing about the Irish and politics, suggest that the Irish possessed a preternatural aptitude for succeeding in gaining political power. There might have been more done on this, delving into why this might have been the case. Looking back to Ireland, these immigrants often operated as clients of political patrons who controlled access to the benefits of the political system. At some level, this view of politics transferred to Illinois with these new immigrants. They operated as well as they did in politics because of their experience in Ireland.Using primary and secondary literature, the authors position their work well as an overview and a starting point for further research into the role played by Irish people in Illinois. This well-written and well-organized volume forms a welcome addition to the literature and should serve as the inspiration for more research into the impact of the Irish in the Prairie State.","PeriodicalId":17416,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Illinois State Historical Society (1998-)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135324762","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
