City of Big Shoulders by Robert G Spinney

A history connecting Chicago's swampy beginnings in the 1600s, its growth as the world's "hog butcher", and its late-20th-century balance of politics, race and ethnicity. Synthesizing a vast body of literature, Robert Spinney presents Chicago in terms of the people whose lives made the city.

Robert G. Spinney is Professor of History at Patrick Henry College in Purcellville, Virginia. He is author of World War II in Nashville.
