Near Fine in Fine jacket. No Flaws or Blemishes but minimal shelf handling; Appears unread, though there is light pencil underlining in Cp 10 & 13. Illinois Governor Richard Ogilvie faced significant scandals during his administration, including financial irregularities and judicial misconduct. Despite these challenges, Taylor Pensoneau argues that Ogilvie's achievements, such as enacting Illinois' first income tax in 1969 and pioneering environmental policies, place him among the state's most impactful governors. Ogilvie's tenure coincided with the 1970 Illinois Constitutional Convention, where he played a key role in government reform. Pensoneau's biography portrays Ogilvie as a pivotal figure in a turbulent era of Illinois politics, detailing his military service, political career, and influence on elections from 1968 to 1972.
