Excerpt from City of Decatur and Macon County, Illinois, Vol. 2: A Record of Settlement, Organization, Progress and Achievement Very early in his business career Mr. Millikin came to recognize oppor tunities that others passed heedlessly by. He saw that land must naturally rise rapidly in value as the state became thickly settled, and anticipating this increase in property valuation, he made extensive and judicious investments in Illinois and southwestern Iowa, securing much of his land for a dollar or a dollar and a quarter per acre. He was the original owner of the tract upon which the town of Bement, Illinois, now stands, and by purchase there came into his possession many acres of broad prairie upon which no improvements had been made, but which in due course of time commanded a high market price. Decatur, too, showed the usual signs of growth and development and in fact seemed imbued with a spirit of enterprise and progress that promised well for the future. Accordingly Mr. Millikin turned his attention to this city, of which he became a resident in 1856, remaining here until his death, which oc curred fifty-three years later. He did not change his occupation with his resi dence, however, but continued to deal in lands, city real estate and livestock, thus becoming recognized as one of the prosperous and enterprising men of Decatur.

Univeristy Press Books for Public and Secondary Schools 2013 edition Superior Achievement by the Illinois State Historical Society, 2013 Throughout his twenty-three-year legal career, Abraham Lincoln spent nearly as much time on the road as an attorney for the Eighth Judicial Circuit as he did in his hometown of Springfield, Illinois. Yet most historians gloss over the time and instead have Lincoln emerge fully formed as a skillful politician in 1858. In this innovative volume, Guy C. Fraker provides the first-ever study of Lincoln’s professional and personal home away from home and demonstrates how the Eighth Judicial Circuit and its people propelled Lincoln to the presidency. Each spring and fall, Lincoln traveled to as many as fourteen county seats in the Eighth Judicial Circuit to appear in consecutive court sessions over a ten- to twelve-week period. Fraker describes the people and counties that Lincoln encountered, discusses key cases Lincoln handled, and introduces the important friends he made, friends who eventually formed the team that executed Lincoln’s nomination strategy at the Chicago Republican Convention in 1860 and won him the presidential nomination. As Fraker shows, the Eighth Judicial Circuit provided the perfect setting for the growth and ascension of Lincoln. A complete portrait of the sixteenth president depends on a full understanding of his experience on the circuit, and Lincoln’s Ladder to the Presidency provides that understanding as well as a fresh perspective on the much-studied figure, thus deepening our understanding of the roots of his political influence and acumen.
