This is the story of St. Charles, Illinois. Founded in 1834, St. Charles is a microcosm of the tremendous growth of civilization in the 19th and 20th centuries in America.

This history covers the time from 1834 to the last quarter of the 20th Century.Originally published in 1976, this edition has been updated and includes extensive footnotes, newly edited photos, and an expanded index.
