By Libby Hill

2000, Soft Cover, 292 pages, Black and White photographs and maps throughout

This is the other story—the story of the making and perpetual re-making of a river by everything from pre-glacial forces to the interventions of an emerging and mighty city. Author Libby Hill brings together years of original research and the contributions of dozens of experts to tell the Chicago River’s epic tale from its conception in prehistoric bedrock to the glorious rejuvination it’s undergoing today, and every exciting episode in between.
