They could be scoundrels:

  • One just went to prison
  • Two served time
  • Three beat the rap

But they could be visionary leaders:

  • One freed his slaves
  • One helped the new state get free of debt
  • One changed the face of modern state government

The updated edition of this classic book about the Illinois governors introduces readers to all of the state's chief executives, from Shadrach Bond to Rod Blagojevich.  Today, perhaps more than ever, we face questions abou the abilities and ethics of our elected officials.  THE ILLINOIS GOVERNORS offers lessons from the state's rich and colorful history punctuated by the life stories of the mostly good and competent governors of Illinois.
