Review by Jean Larson

 I just finished reading Lilly's remarkable book, filled with extensive research, actual interviews, anecdotal stories, letters, and pertinent photos!!  Amazing!

I scanned through the Civil War section but read the letters written by the servicemen. 

Altogether, the history of Bishop Hill Colony was made more real, an honest story of the life & struggles of those early immigrants from Sweden.

Now I want to go to Bishop Hill!! Jean Larson
