Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is an epic historical play written in 1914 as part of a larger project celebrating the centennial of the state of Illinois. The author explores the state's history through a series of allegorical scenes, with the titular Lady Illinois personifying the spirit of the state, guided by the Three Great Sisters (Liberty, Justice, and Love), and opposed by the Three Evil Brethren (Hate, Fear, and Tyranny). The play dramatizes the state's journey from its early days as a wilderness inhabited by Native American tribes through its settlement by French colonists, its struggle for independence from British rule, and its eventual statehood. It also touches on the social and political issues facing Illinois in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, such as slavery, corruption, and the role of women. Ultimately, the play celebrates the resilience and the spirit of the people of Illinois, emphasizing the power of unity and brotherhood in overcoming obstacles and building a better future.
