520			_a"The History of Peru" by Henry S. Beebe is a historical account written in the mid-19th century. This text documents the founding and development of the city of Peru in La Salle County, Illinois, exploring its early settlement, local governance, and social dynamics. The author reflects on the struggles and milestones of the community, providing insights into the lives of its residents over time. The opening of the book introduces the reader to the humble beginnings of Peru, highlighting the town's formation shortly after the passage of the Internal Improvement Act. Beebe delves into the early settlement patterns, noting the prominent figures that established themselves in the area and the gradual transition from a sparse population to a burgeoning community. Among the numerous anecdotes is a description of the town's struggles, such as a brief but significant financial crash and the impact of events like the cholera outbreaks, reflecting both the hardships and the resilience of its inhabitants as they navigated the challenges of a growing town.
