RE: New Illinois State historian named
Sam Wheeler is a great choice for Illinois State Historian. I am a bit surprised--it appeared that this position would remain unfilled indefinitely, as yet another symptom of Illinois's problems. Tom Schwartz left five years ago. Perhaps the trustees of the Illinois State Historic Agency were just waiting for the right person. You can't be around Sam long and not be impressed by his knowledge of, and enthusiasm for, all things Lincoln. I believe Sam has taught only at the college level, but he would have been a marvelous high school history teacher. Kudos to IHPA!
