There is also a book on the cemeteries of Coles County, entitled The Prairie Sleeps, which contains several notable historical tidbits and is much more readable than the "official" county history. Wachholder0 18:09, 27 Feb 2005 (UTC)
It is very clear that Mattoon was not a Lincoln-Douglas debate town. Every source I can find says the debate happened in Charleston, Illinois. Even the linked-to transcript of the debate says "Charleston" at the top in enormous letters. Fishal 04:13, 25 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Hey folks -- please beware of people trying to add information regarding a soybean museum. This information was added as a hoax, and it was propagated by journalists who relied on the Wikipedia article without fact-checking. The museum URL is soybeanmuseum.org, and the site contains this disclaimer at the bottom: This site and all images herin property of the Coles County Soybean Museum, a non-existent entity. This site is meant as a joke, poking fun at silly journalists who use Wikipedia as their only source of information and don't check their facts. All soybean information on this site comes directly from Wikipedia. We don't check our sources either. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.68.113.173 (talk) 12:14, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
