Chicago by Dominic A Pacyga
A work that traces the storied past of the author's hometown, from the explorations of Joliet and Marquette in 1673 to the new wave of urban pioneers today. It gives voice to the city's steelyard workers and kill floor operators, and maps the neighborhoods distinguished not by Louis Sullivan masterworks but by bungalows and corner taverns.
"A wonderful achievement from someone who has devoted much of his career to studying Chicago's historyPacyga gives us the singular story of Chicago in his own inimitable voice." - Ann Durkin Keating, coeditor of The Encyclopedia of Chicago"
