URBANA – When Rob Diehl, Brian Wang and Erica Kirk wanted to learn about history, they started in their own backyard.
What they found earned them the title of 2008 State Historian of the Year, shared among 14 of the state's high school students, who will each have their history essays published in Illinois History magazine (www.illinoishistory.gov/illinoishistory.htm).
