Our Book "Marengo"

The First 100 Years

Latest Update 04-November-2007:    

Sales of the first book on Marengo history, "Marengo, the First 100 Years", have been amazing!  Members of the Society have received so many comments of appreciation which have, indeed, been equally gratifying!

There are 128 pages in the publication with 10 chapters and over 200 pictures.  People have dug into their photo albums and truly been a great help in making this first history book possible.  The response has been so great that the Society is already planning for a second book.  This process is already engaged as we continue with the scanning of pictures and in many cases, getting the pictures returned to the most generous folks who have shared them with the Society.  It has truly been a learning experience for those Society members who've been actively involved, especially as we continue learning the process of entering our data on the Past Perfect computer program and scanning the pictures for immediate recall.  Isn't technology great!  We're discovering what a great tool computers can be for sharpening our 'Senior' skills. 

Anyone wishing to purchase "Marengo, the First 100 Years" should either contact the Society through the website or call 815-568-5485.  The price is $19.99 for a single copy.  Postage can vary depending upon the destination.  At our end, the Society will confirm the postage so that a check, Pay-Pal or money order can be sent which will include the price of the book and the exact postage due.  In addition, you may want to purchase #5 in our calendar series, the theme if which is "The Fabulous 40's and 50's".  June Meyer,Shirley Kitchen and Karen Lee have packed the calendar with terrific pictures!
