Trivia/Info

  • From the State Songs liner notes:
In 1818 the Prairie State became the 21st state admitted to the Union, and in 1875 my great-grandfather Josiah Linnell brought his family there to establish a homestead where he could grow fruit for the Chicago market. He now has descendants in all 50 of the United States. The Official State Flower of the "Land of Lincoln" is the Butterfly Violet.
