Description
Composed of thirty-five articles that appeared in the widely respected quarterly of the Chicago Historical Society between 1974 and 1996, this one-volume history chronicles each major period in the city's development from a frontier outpost to a great metropolis. Providing a balance between the process of city building and the making of city people, these articles highlight the contribution of all Chicagoans to the social, political, economic, and cultural life of the city and the nation. Numerous photographs and illustrations throughout help convey the fascinating history of Chicago and the people who made it.
