Kankakee became the county seat when Kankakee County was established in 1853. The largest city in the county, Kankakee embraced the railroad from its 19th-century beginning, becoming an important railroad hub in Illinois. The Kankakee County Historical Society has long worked to preserve the city's history and it celebrates its 100th anniversary in 2006, making it one of Illinois' oldest historical societies. The images in this book come from the society's large collection and they represent many slices of Kankakee life from 1853 to 1910.

Kankakee, Illinois: 1853-1910 (Images of America Series)
Through Eirik Johnson's lens I saw familiar scenes in a different light. I grew up in these same wet woods and never knew my family lived in poverty until I moved away. Now, years later, these photographs gave me a sense of loneliness and desolation I had not felt since my travels in third world countries. It did not surprise me, then, when I learned that Eirik had lived in Peru. My only consolation is my genuine optimistic belief that Nature will have the last say.
