ILLINOIS 下载 kindle 电子版 pdf mobi pmlz 夸克云 caj

illinois,that long slice of the heartland stretching fro lake michigan fto kentucky,may be the most american place of all.its great patriot,abraham lincoln,and its great athlete,michael jordan,stand for what s best about our country.

the prairie state has some of the midwest s richest farmlnd,and,by geographic luck,illinors also has the vital metropolis of chicago.the windy city took in the continent s resources and shipped them far and wide ,becoming the nation s railroad hub and later its crossroade of the air.after the dev-astating 1871fire,visionary planners and architects like daniel burnham and louis sullivan designed boulevards,gracious parks,and beaux arts buildings thet make this one of

the most livable of cities.

both chicago and downstate illinois have grow them,like john dere s plow; the prairie style homes of frank lloyd wright;mail-order merchandising from sears and wards;an ener-getic,all-american literture from carl sandburg,nelson algren,gwendolyn brooks,and saul bellow;and the soulful strains of chicago blues.its institu-tions have nurtured artsts and scientists;its world s fairs marked the nation s progress.and its feisty frontier spirit has produced labor heroes,political potentates like the daley clan,infamous gangsters.and daring improvisational comedy.the land of lincoln is a land of lively contrasts-from farm animals to the bulls,bears,and cubs;from river-boats and state fairs to galleries and symphony galas.
