James R. Eilers
"Illinois by the Back Roads" is a photo travelogue of gems from lesser known sites within the Land of Lincoln. The first in a planned series of books, this 114 page volume includes full-color photos from sites in the north-most region---outside Chicago. An outline map is provided for each site showing its approximate location. Also, each site provides references to sources of detailed information.
About the Author
Jim Eilers is a life-long photo enthusiast. He has been taking photos seriously since being the Head Photographer for his High School yearbook. When attending his 40th class reunion, another attendee noted Jim's Nikon D5000 and remarked, "I see you are still carrying a camera everywhere you go." Eilers is now retired from a 35-year career in food manufacturing. Jim and wife Sue have been married since 1978, have two grown children and one grandson (who is the subject of plenty of photos). Jim and Sue were raised in Iowa and were transplanted to Illinois in 1986 where they now make their home in Villa Park.
