No Customer Reviews
The Troubling Tales of Old Macomb takes a creative approach to history. This 31-page book uses 1880s graphics as inspiration for a visually compelling format and couplets to tell the tales of Macomb, Illinois, a city rich with interesting history and patriotism. This book begins at the close of the Civil War and includes the stories of William H. Randolph's murder, Elizabeth Miner's challenges in becoming the area's first woman doctor and L.P. Phelps' tragic death on the Courthouse Square. Read about six important, historical figures who called Macomb their home, and the impact they made on their community. Their tales, although often troubling, are examples of the progress this town has made throughout some challenging times. Let these tales be an inspiration to take an interest in the history surrounding you.
