Journey Back Inside The Blanket Fort this week as we introduce an exciting new releases: Illinois Trails & Traces: Portraits and Stories along the State’s Historic Routes by Gary Marx and Daniel Overturf, with a foreword by U.S. Senator Dick Durbin.
Illinois Trails & Traces partners the deft writing of Gary Marx, a journalist whose work has appeared in the Kansas City Star and numerous other publications, with vivid photography by Daniel Overturf, an exhibiting photographer and professor of photography at SIU Carbondale. Together, Marx and Overturf are the authors of the previously published SIU Press book A River Through Illinois. This new collaboration by Marx and Overturf sheds light on ever evolving patterns of travel and settlement throughout Illinois.
