Title A name given to the resource Chicago Drainage Collection Subject The topic of the resource Illinois--Chicago Illinois--Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal Waterways Illinois--Chicago Sanitary District Dams--Design and construction Canals--Design and construction Canals Dams Description An account of the resource The Chicago Drainage Collection documents the construction of the Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal during the 1890s and early 1900s. The canal serves as a shipping link between the Great Lakes Waterway and the Missisippi River and it carries Chicago's sewage to the Des Plaines River.  Construction on the Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal began in 1889 with the creation of the Municipal Sanitary District in response to fears that sewage pumped into the Chicago River and into Lake Michigan would contaminate the city's drinking water. The canal also served as a replacement for the narrower and shallower Illinois and Michigan Canal. Canal construction ran under the leadership of chief engineer Isham Randolph from September 3, 1892, known as "Shovel Day," until January 2, 1900, when water was first released into the canal.  During the construction process, engineers successfully and permanently reversed the flow of the Chicago River, enabling it to carry waste water away to the Mississippi River and eventually the Gulf of Mexico. Admiral George Dewey dedicated the canal on May 2, 1900. Additional construction extending the canal to Joliet ran from 1903-1907.  Photographs in this collection include images of the construction of the Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal and the Bear Trap Dam at the base of the canal in Lockport, Illinois. Other images include Admiral Dewey's visit to dedicate the waterway as well as before and after images of the empty and filled canal. Still Image A static visual representation.

Shiloh, St. Clair County, Illinois January 16th 1865 To his Excellency, Richard Yates. I have the honor to congratulate you on your election to the United States Senate. The legislature in calling you to that position only conformed to the wishes of the Union loving People, whilst nothing could be more gratifying to the volunteers in the field from this State. On my return to the army in the latter part of December, I learned, that recent orders from the War Department require that all Officers retaining no full command at the expiration of the enlistment of their men, should be mustered out. The 43rd Ill. only retaining a trifle over 700 men (including 400 drafted men recently assigned) I was immediately mustered out to date back of December 16th. Taking a deep interest in our national struggle, I can find no satisfaction in being compelled to stay idly at home, whilst the enemy still has armies in the field to work the overthrow of our Country and our liberties. I regret the move to leave the army, as it was owing mostly to my own personal exertions that 300 of the veterans of my regiment reenlisted, I assuring them all the while that I would not turn my back upon the enemy whilst a single one remained in the field. Having participated in the two wars, previous to the breaking ---- out of the present rebellion, and having now been in the field since October 1861, and for two years past commanding either Brigade or Division, I flatter myself not to have lost these opportunities of qualifying myself to worthily hold the rank of Brigadier General. I have for years past done the duty of Brigadier to the entire satisfaction of my Superiors, and am confident that my services were not without value to the cause of our Country. When I called on you at Springfield, a month ago, you were pleased to inform me, that immediately after your election you would go to Washington, and urge upon the President my claims to the position of Brigadier General, and that you would personally attend to the confirmation of my nomination by the Senate. I write you now on this subject to request your early intercession in my behalf. I feel that duty still calls every able bodied man to the front. I loth to stay at home whilst treason makes her last and most desperate efforts, and whilst my former comrades are earning the brightest laurels. Everything you may be pleased to do in my behalf in this matter will add to the many obligations under which I already am to you, for which you shall ever find me truly grateful.

Title A name given to the resource Monticello College Collection Subject The topic of the resource Women's colleges Universities and colleges Monticello College Monticello Female Seminary Haskell, Harriet, 1835-1907 Illinois--Godfrey Godfrey, Benjamin, 1794-1862 Description An account of the resource Monticello College first began as the Monticello Female Seminary in 1838. Founded by Captain Benjamin Godfrey to provide education for women, the school offered two years of classes for attendees based on the idea that “if you educate a man you educate an individual; educate a woman and you educate a whole family.” Godfrey selected Reverend Theron Baldwin to serve as the first head of the Monticello Female Seminary. In 1867 Harriet Haskell became principal, a position she held until her death in 1907.  On November 4, 1888, a fire broke out in the building and consumed the entire structure. Ms. Haskell and the school's Board of Trustees successfully fundraised for a new building and rebuilt the school in two years. The school's leadership made the decision to close the school in 1970 with the final class graduating in 1971. Lewis and Clark Community College completed the purchase of the Monticello College campus in 1972.
