"The author does not find it necessary to make any apology for the appearance of this little contribution to the history of the Scandinavian settlements in the Northwest. The Bishop Hill Colony will always occupy a prominent place in any history of the State of Illinois. It was founded when Chicago was but an overgrown village, and when there was not a single city worthy of the name in the State. It brought 1100 able-bodied immigrants into the county of Henry when the entre population of the county was only four tims that number. It put large quantities of ready money into circulation at a time when business was largely conducted by barter and when the principal medium of exchange was the skins of fur-bearing animals. It inaugurated that mighty tide of Swedish immigration which has flooded the State of Illinois and the entire Northwest with prosperous Swedish homesteads and flourishing villages. ... Yet, in spite of its importance for the early industries of the State, the Bishop Hill Colony was primarily a religious society. The history of the Jansonists before their emigration belongs to the ecclesiastical history of Sweden. What they sought in the New World was not wealth, but freedom to worship God afther their own manner. They held views which were repugnant to the Church of Sweden. It was the realization of these views which they sought in the New World. Of the character of these views, as well as the result of the experiment, the reader of this historical sketch will be able to judge for himself."--Preface, pages 5-6

Bishop Hill Reframed is a 246 page non-fiction book, with photographs, about the history of Bishop Hill. Written by Lilly Setterdahl, this book provides an overview of the history and legacy of this small Illinois town started by Swedish immigrants as a religious communal colony in 1846. Bishop Hill Reframed presents an honest description of the Bishop Hill Colony. It begins with a look at the principal founder, his beliefs, and escape from Sweden's unfree society in the 1840s. It continues with letters penned by colonists and other eye witnesses, articles on specific subjects, conversations with descendants, Civil War letters, and a Roster of Officers and Men of Company D, 57th Illinois Volunteer Infantry, 1861-1865. The book's cover shows the primitive housing in 1846 and the prosperous town in 1855, both scenes painted by the colony's own artist Olof Krans. The colonists' willingness to work side by side to create a town in the wilderness-despite the cholera epidemic and the murder of "the prophet" in 1850-continued unabated until disputes about dogma led to dissension. Hard economic times and other problems made it necessary to sell large tracts of land to satisfy the lenders, resulting in the dissolution of the colony in 1860-61. The book is illustrated with photographs from Sweden and Bishop Hill, the historic buildings in the village, past activities, and images of the stoic pioneers, men and woman, who built this town. Today, Bishop Hill is a state historic site and a national historic landmark due to its large impact on Swedish migration to the United States. Containing 17 pre-Civil War buildings that are still in use today, Bishop Hill is today an historic tourism destination. Lilly does a great job of tying together the history of the 19th century Bishop Hill Colony with 21st century Bishop Hill, using never before published documents. Bishop Hill Reframed is a must read for people who enjoy Swedish, U.S., or immigration history.

Excerpt from Historic Bishop Hill, 1846-1946: Bishop Hill Centennial Souvenir, Observance September 22, 23 and 24, 1946 Our readers and visitors will appreciate the efforts of those early pioneers when they realize that this part of Illinois was a wild prairie on their arrival, and that these folks began with such simple tools as hoe and mattock to clear the forest, then slowly and intermittently erected their buildings, as time and materials permitted. Every brick was molded by hand, every beam and joist was cut and sawed from their own walnut, maple and red oak trees. Later on, when nails were used, every one of them was made by hand. What patience those men possessed! About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
