With more than 200 vintage images, culled from three collections-the Mc Henry County Historical Society, the Crystal Lake Historical Society, the James Keefe Collection, and the personal collection of Don Peasley-Mc Henry County, Illinois, portrays life against a backdrop of international wars, national social struggles, and technological advances in an expanding world.
