Sangamon Soil by Fred McTaggart The vast prairie of Illinois that became known as the Sangamon Country was a favored place for Native American nations such as the Kickapoo and Potawatomi. The soil was rich for growing corn, game was abundant, and there was close proximity to rivers and streams.By the end of the War of 1812, the Kickapoo were the principal inhabitants of the Sangamon Country, but settlers were lining up like runners at the start of a marathon race to get a piece of this land at a dirt cheap price from the American government.This book traces the diverse roots of the authors family who came together in the Sangamon Country of Illinois from 1817 to 1854. They came from Scotland, Germany, England, France, and Holland. They included descendants of slave owners and those who joined Abraham Lincolns party to battle slavery. Some were poor; some were well off. They all came to establish family farms on soil that proved to be even more fertile and profitable than they had imagined. For more than 100 years, they prospered until market forces changed in the 1920s and 1930s.Sangamon Soil is a story of the settling of the Midwest and the rise and fall of the family farm as seen from the perspective of one family. “There is nothing special about my family,” the author said. “Every family has stories, and these are the flesh and blood of our history.” FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Author Biography Fred McTaggart spent the first 12 years of his life in Pawnee, a small rural town in Sangamon County, Illinois. The diverse strands of his family all came to this area in the early part of the nineteenth century to establish family farms. As settlers, anxious to buy cheap land from the U.S. government, they were oblivious to the claims of Native Americans who had occupied this area for many years. They were, however, quick to accept the antislavery messages being circulated by Abraham Lincoln and Methodist circuit riders such as Peter Cartwright and Francis Asbury. McTaggarts previous books include Wolf That I Am: In Search of the Red Earth People (Houghton Mifflin, 1976 and University of Oklahoma Press, 1984) and Kalamazoo County: Where Quality Is a Way of Life (Windsor Press, 1989). As a followup to Wolf That I Am, Sangamon Soil has been a long time coming. It is an examination of his own familys relationship to the Sangamon soil and the corn crops it nurtured. Fred McTaggart was an assistant professor of English at Western Michigan University from 1974 to 1979, then worked as a self employed writer until his retirement in January, 2018. He and his wife, Donna Carroll, were co-owners and writers for HEALTHWire/Words, etc., a subscription based article service for hospitals and health care professionals. They live in Kalamazoo, Michigan.
