Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A wry, no-holds-barred memoir of Nelson’s time controlling some of Chicago's most beautiful spots while facing some of its ugliest traditions. In 1987, the city of Chicago hired a former radical college chaplain to clean up rampant corruption on the waterfront. R. J. Nelson thought he was used to the darker side of the law—he had been followed by federal agents and wiretapped due to his antiwar stances in the sixties—but nothing could prepare him for the wretched bog that constituted the world of a Harbor Boss. Dirty Waters is the wry, no-holds-barred memoir of Nelson’s time controlling some of the city’s most beautiful spots while facing some of its ugliest traditions. Nelson takes us through Chicago's beloved “blue spaces” and deep into the city’s political morass, revealing the different moralities underlining three mayoral administrations and navigating the gritty mechanisms of the city’s political machine. Ultimately, Dirty Waters is a tale of morality, of what it takes to be a force for good in the world and what struggles come from trying to stay ethically afloat in a sea of corruption.

This book was released on 2018-01-17 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Design for the Proposed Outer Harbor of the City of Chicago: A Thesis At the present time the City of Chicago is confronted by three great economic and engineering problems involving the health, convenience, and prosperity of its inhabitants. These are: l, Electrification of Railways; 2, Subway Construction; and 3, Expansion of Harbor Facilities. The first has been postponed repeatedly through the powerful opposition of the railroads who have advanced various arguments of financial disability and insufficiency of working data, but the impetus derived from New York's successful experiment and the voluntary action of the London and South Western Railroad in deciding to electrify its entire system of 273 miles, makes it certain that this desirable improvement will be commenced in the near future. Subway construction has received a large amount of attention of late and tentative plans have been prepared for the city.

Download or read book The Railroad Tycoon Who Built Chicago written by Jack Harpster and published by SIU Press. This book was released on 2009-08-28 with total page 329 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: William Butler Ogden was a pioneer railroad magnate, one of the earliest founders and developers of the city of Chicago, and an important influence on U.S. westward expansion. His career as a businessman stretched from the streets of Chicago to the wilds of the Wisconsin lumber forests, from the iron mines of Pennsylvania to the financial capitals in New York and beyond. Jack Harpster’s The Railroad Tycoon Who Built Chicago: A Biography of William B. Ogden is the first chronicle of one of the most notable figures in nineteenth-century America. Harpster traces the life of Ogden from his early experiences as a boy and young businessman in upstate New York to his migration to Chicago, where he invested in land, canal construction, and steamboat companies. He became Chicago’s first mayor, built the city’s first railway system, and suffered through the Great Chicago Fire. His diverse business interests included real estate, land development, city planning, urban transportation, manufacturing, beer brewing, mining, and banking, to name a few. Harpster, however, does not simply focus on Ogden’s role as business mogul; he delves into the heart and soul of the man himself. The Railroad Tycoon Who Built Chicago is a meticulously researched and nuanced biography set against the backdrop of the historical and societal themes of the nineteenth century. It is a sweeping story about one man’s impact on the birth of commerce in America. Ogden’s private life proves to be as varied and interesting as his public persona, and Harpster weaves the two into a colorful tapestry of a life well and usefully lived.
