The Governors of Illinois and the Mayors of Chicago

People of Regional, National, and International Consequence

By: Bradley W. Rasch

From Sharach Bond, who served as the first governor of Illinois beginning in 1818, to William Ogden, Chicago's first mayor, many powerful men and women have played vital roles in the political life and climate of both Chicago and Illinois. The Governors of Illinois and the Mayors of Chicago provides biographies for the state's most important power brokers. In this study, author Bradley W. Rasch explores the history of the state, its politics, and its power brokers and details little-known facts about some of the important people: - Edward Coles, who served as governor from 1822 to 1826, was an abolitionist long before it was fashionable. - Gov. Joseph Duncan's (1834-1838) major accomplishment was moving the state capital to Springfield. - William Ogden is called Chicago's founder and served as the first mayor after its incorporation, which he helped facilitate. - Mayor Augustus Garrett served as mayor twice but is best known for having his second election invalidated due to fraud. Filled with an interesting array of facts and trivia, The Governors of Illinois and the Mayors of Chicago shows how many of the people who served in these positions have gone on to receive national and international acclaim and influence.

Explaining and Defending American Government

(To a Group of Non-Americans on a Five-Hour Train Trip to Berlin)

By: Bradley W. Rasch

During the summer of 2011, Professor Bradley Rasch embarked on a lengthy train trip through Germany with a group of European college professors. As often happens with foreigners and Americans, it was not long before the conversation turned to American politics and government. As Rasch fielded questions from his fellow passengers about the American government and how it works, he soon realized that his explanations were teaching him much about his country as well. Here, Rasch details the discussions from that journey as well as the reactions of the professors, ultimately challenging myths and deep truths and bringing to light the strengths and weaknesses of this influential country. While describing the basics of American government and politics in an informative, thought provoking style, Rasch combines his own love of history and passion for his country to present an informative study that addresses diverse questions: • What is the American dream? • Why is the president not elected by popular vote? • What is American exceptionalism? • How does the United States government really work? • What do the two parties agree on? Explaining and Defending American Government shares an insightful, eye-opening glimpse into the true state of the government and politics of the most powerful nation in the world.
