Several people have asked me whether it was still possible to get a copy of this book, which was reprinted by the Montgomery County Historical Society. I checked with them, and the answer is that all their copies are gone. I didn't ask specifically, but I'd suspect that if they had many requests, they'd consider reprinting it again: Historical Society of Montgomery County, C/O City of Hillsboro Hillsboro, IL 62049 And if you get the opportunity, I also recommend a tour of their Solomon Harkey House, build in 1834.
