This is a 500 page volume that contains quite a lot of historical
information, from an
1877 perspective.
There are a few copies of this book in local libraries, but they
are under lock and key. It is our hope that you will find the information
that we have transcribed useful in your quest for knowledge.
We have transcribed:
- The entire chapter of History of Lake County
which, due to size, we have divided into:
first part,
second part, and
third part.
- Township Histories for:
Antioch,
Newport,
Warren, and
Avon.
Lake Villa Township did not yet exist.
- Entries from the Township Directories, for
people that have some connection with Millburn.
The volume also contains a great deal of history about the Northwest Territory,
how it became divided into the states, and a history of Illinois.
A chapter is included which details Lake County Civil War history and lists
rosters of units.
