About the Book
"A superb narrative. . . . Grierson combines many aspects of Illinois
mythology: prairie and dream, Lincoln and freedom, struggle and redemption.
He also depicts the Lincoln country as a mythic Garden, inhabited by heroic
pioneers who are swept into the valley of shadows, the coming national
conflict . . . a unique achievement of uncommon power and symbolic depth---an
Illinois masterpiece."
