Michael, Congratulations to you and a tip of the hat to Margaret and Indiana. Inspired by Mr. Mackey, I did a Google on the title and discovered that Nancy Piper has transcribed part of the book and has it online: http://www.piperspages.com/LaSalle/1886History/1886Index.html. She has lots of other info on LaSalle County on her main page too. It'd be great if all these histories were online. Best wishes, Tim -----Original Message----- From: M.E.

I actually have tried to get the book through my library options but to no avail. My only other option has been the FHL in SLC, but I can not justify a 300 mile trip at this time, so I will patiently wait until opportunity presents itself. Of course the research material I am working from does not offer anything but the reference, no substance. Such is the rough luck at times.
