Overview
working hard and raising families, aspiring to ideals or lofty dreams. Since
its founding as a farm community by tough New England sodbusters,
Wheaton has provided residency for an amazing array of personalities, from
ex-slave William Osborne to astronaut Shannon Lucid, from sculptors to
preachers, from intensely focused athletes to “ordinary” citizens performing
extraordinary, selfless acts. As Carl Sandburg, poet laureate of Illinois,
mused, “These are the people, with flaws and failings, with patience,
sacrifice, devotion, the people.” Portraying glimpses of their humor, insight,
dedication, and ability, this book seeks to celebrate only a fraction of
these fascinating individuals, the true heart and soul of the city—and the
nation.
