City of the Century, The Epic of Chicago and the Making of America

City of the Century, The Epic of Chicago and the Making of America

by Donald L. Miller

  • HISTORY
  • 2003
  • PAPER
  • 704 PAGES

As blustery and swaggering as the Chicago of myth, this monumental biography of the city takes in the sweep of its history from the days of Joliette, Marquette and other explorers, to the celebrated 1893 Chicago Fair -- which drew more than 27 million people from around the world, the biggest attraction of its day.  (GLK05, $18.95)
