Galesburg, Illinois, has made quite a name for itself since the first settlers arrived in 1836. It has witnessed the comings and goings of fifteen United States presidents, listened to Louis Satchmo Armstrong, seen the birth of an elephant and served as home of the man who brought the dandelion to America. Lifetime resident and city historian Tom Wilson captures the true spirit of the town through this charming collection of articles from his column, Tracking History. Nuances and details, from the excitement of the Lincoln-Douglas debates to the frustrations of stalemate college basketball, make Remembering Galesburg a sparkling depiction of this towns personality.

Galesburg, Illinois, is a town proud of its history and heritage. From its founding by courageous and determined pioneers in 1837 to the present day, it has been referred to in many ways--including "The Ideal City" and "The Buckle on the Corn Belt." Galesberg, Illinois in Vintage Postcards uses postcards as the lens to focus on the fascinating history of this Midwestern town. Throughout its history, the postcard has always been a popular means of communication. Looking back at them now, we are offered a unique insight into the places and times illustrated on the cards, and an intimate look at the people sending these cards to loved ones in faraway locations.
