By Donald L. Miller 1996, Soft Cover, 684 pages, 16 pages of Black and White photographs Donald Miller’s powerful narrative embraces it all: Chicago’s wild beginnings, its reckless growth, its natural calamities, its raucous politics, its empire-building businessmen, its world-transforming architecture, its rich mix of cultures, its community of young writers and journalists, and its staggering engineering projects—which included the reversal of the Chicago River and raising the entire city from prairie mud to save it from devastating cholera epidemics. City of the Century throbs with the pulse of the great city it brilliantly brings to life. 8539$18.95 Become a Member of the Chicago History Museum today and save!
