Did you know that Chicago was named for a wild onion? Or that the only president born in Illinois was Ronald Reagan? Or that the Ferris Wheel, processed cheese, the game of softball, the fly swatter, and the automatic dishwasher were all invented by Illinoisans? You’ll find these stories and hundreds more in Roadside History Illinois, an entertaining and revealing tour of the Prairie State’s historical places.
Native Illinoisan Stan Banash describes the state’s diverse history as he guides readers along its highways and byways, sometimes tracing routes with a history of their own (the Old Cumberland Road, the Trail of Tears, the Lincoln Highway, and U.S. Route 66, for examples). The engaging text is enhanced with 120 historical and modern photos, along with a map for each region. Old-timers, newcomers, and visitors alike will love this info-packed history.

Soft as Rabbits Fur🥰
Size: 60''x80'', Color: Ombré Silver Onyx, Size: 60''x80'', Color: Ombré Silver Onyx
The softest blanket. Feels like sleeping with rabbit fur. I did anticipate it being a little heavier and it was not but that is ok I love it non the less. Would recommend to anyone! I have not attempted to wash it yet as the last one I ruined washing so were gonna wait as long as possible before washing this one. I would def recommend not drying. It has a luxurious high quality feeling to it that keeps me thinking about it all day! It's not to thick therefore it its too hot but keeps you comfortably warm. Amazon offered a %20 discount at checkout. The Blanket ended up being cheaper than I thought it would be So far I've used it for a couple weeks and 0 signs of shedding! I use it on my bed as I don't want it to get ruined. I fold it up each morning and put it away. I ordered the 60×80it fits a twin sized bed. I love this size and won't order anything smaller.

Ultra Luxurious and Washable
Size: 50''x60'', Color: Ombré Hazel Brown
I’ve never written a review this fast. This throw is the height of luxury, style, comfort, feel and appearance. I used on our bed, only on my side as my husband has different temp needs. It doesn’t shed. I only needed the 50x60 inches, but it’s available in 50x80. What clinched the purchase for me was that it is washable and can be tumbled dried. It’s the perfect weight. Not too light and not too heavy. (Goldilocks would have loved it.) It looks and feels like real fur! It’s pricier than other throws but it’s 100% what I wanted and beyond my expectations. 5+ Stars!!!!

Beautiful and comforting!
Size: Throw(50" X 60"), Color: Tie Dye Brown
Love, Love, Love this throw! I love the feel, coloring, and wearability! When my Tortie Cat lays on it, it is hard to see her! This is warm, soft, and Beautiful! Looks as good today as it did when I got it for Christmas! The Unhide Marshmallow brand was my favorite, before, and I do still like, I hope this washes up as well as they do. It is heavier, But very comforting!
