Has anyone seen a reprint of the 1878 History of Knox County from Higginson Books? Do they produce good quality reprints? Also, is the 1878 History of Knox County different than the Atlas of Knox County that was printed on about 11x14 sheets in the early 1870s? Thanks for any help.

Bob, A wonderful site to find information on genealogical publications is the online catalog of the Allen Co. Library which is located in Ft. Wayne Indiana. I just logged on and got 50 hits on Knox, County, Illinois.

I have the Higgenson book and it is fine, the pictures are not as nice as the ones in the original 1886 that I have, but it is not falling apart. The 1886 needs rebound and shouldn't be used really, I can't make any copies from it, too fragile. It is different than the Atlas which I have found very helpful, that you can get from the Knox county Genealogy Society, if you find someone there, you can see where their land was and if they were a subscriber, it says where they were born, it is full of nice clues.

I have a used copy of a reproduction of the 1878 History of Knox Co. which is good. I'm not familiar with the Atlas; what does it consist of (how many pages, etc.)? pat >Has anyone seen a reprint of the 1878 History of Knox County from Higginson >Books?
