"This remarkable book is a unique chronicle of life in the Prairie State----a stunning visual record of the land and its people across 300 years. David Buisseret tells the story of Illinois in a way never before attempted. Using his own aerial photographs as well as satellite images, original thematic maps, and many rare historic illustrations, he is able to show how the past gives way to the present----and how the mark of the past is still with us, once we are able to see it. Very often, the only way is from the air."
