Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. When Abraham Lincoln moved to Illinois? Sangamo Country in 1831, he found a pioneer community transforming from a cluster of log houses along an ancient trail to a community of new towns and state roads. But two of the towns vanished in a matter of years, and many of the activities and lifestyles that shaped them were almost entirely forgotten. In The Sangamo Frontier, archaeologist Robert Mazrim unearths the buried history of this early American community, breathing new life into a region that still rests in Lincoln?s shadow. Named after a shallow river that cuts through the prairies of central Illinois, the Sangamo Country?an area that now encompasses the capital city of Springfield and present-day Sangamon County?was first colonized after the War of 1812. For the past fifteen years, Mazrim has conducted dozens of excavations there, digging up pieces of pioneer life, from hand-forged iron and locally made crockery to pewter spoons and Staffordshire teacups. And here, in beautifully illustrated stories of each dig, he shows how each of these small artifacts can teach us something about the lifestyles of people who lived on the frontier nearly two hundred years ago. Allowing us to see past the changed modern landscape and the clichés of pioneer history, Mazrim deftly uses his findings to portray the homes, farms, taverns, and pottery shops where Lincoln?s neighbors once lived and worked. Drawing readers into the thrill of discovery, The Sangamo Frontier inaugurates a new kind of archaeological history that both enhances and challenges our written history. It imbues today?s landscape with an authentic ghostliness that will reawaken the curiosity of anyone interested in the forgotten people and places that helped shape our nation.…

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Lake Springfield, created in the 1930s, evolved from a vital resource into a vibrant community steeped in history and recreation.A lake is a body of water, but it can also be the place of community. During the 1930s, a small creek in central Illinois was dammed and flooded to provide water and power to a growing nearby city. The place was already rich with history, dotted with 10,000 years of archaeological remains, crossed by a 300-year French colonial road, and the encompassing farms and small towns frequented by a young Abraham Lincoln. The vision for Lake Springfield included much more than a source of drinking water and power for the city of Springfield. During a nationwide depression, city planners and engineers thoughtfully created a unique municipal, recreational, and residential community along the new shores. Parks, beach houses, numerous organizational clubs, scouting camps for children, a memorial garden, a nature preserve, an outdoor theater, and even a public zoo soon skirted the 4000-acre lake. Now, eighty-five years after its construction, Lake Springfield is a community with its own rich history.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. The Pillsbury Flour Mill in Springfield, Illinois, operated between 1930 and 2001. What began as a flour mill expanded into prepared mixes, artificial sweeteners, and convenience food products during the 1950s and 1960s. At its peak, the factory employed 1,500 workers and encompassed 750,000 square feet in over 15 buildings across 18 acres.Like many such facilities of the time, the Pillsbury plant contained large amounts of carcinogenetic asbestos. The EPA conducted a massive cleanup in 2017. However, the buildings continued to decay, and their reputation loomed darkly in the community. In 2020, a small not-for-profit was formed to clean up and demolish the abandoned mill. In 2023, the author recognized the site's impressive historic and artistic potential. A multi-faceted program followed, resulting in a variety of history and art exhibits.This book illustrates the site as it looked in 2023 and 2024, after decades of abandonment, decomposition, salvage, and theft. The emphasis is not only on the remnants of history, but on what the empty place had become. The images in this book reflect two years of exploring and documenting abandoned architecture, residual history, technological extinction, post-abandonment graffiti, and the remarkable aesthetic vistas found in the decaying factory.
