Book excerpt: Excerpt from Fifty-Five Years: The Young Men's Christian Association of Chicago, 1858-1913 At the close of fifty years there was entertained the purpose of publishing a historical sketch of the half century of activity of the Chicago association. Material was prepared for such a volume, but one stubborn fact prevented the execution of the plan. The association was making history so rapidly that there was little time to record it. Notwithstanding the fact that history is still being made, the plan has been revived of publishing this volume. In sending out this record of the years we wish first of all to bear testimony to the thorough historical investigation which was. Made by Edwin Burritt Smith, the results of which were pre pared by him for the volume published fifteen years ago, giving a history of the first forty years of the life of the association in this city. With a few changes this sketch prepared by Mr. Smith has been incorporated into the present volume. In the second place, we wish to call attention to the fact that the present volume is not confined to the records of the fifty years, but that supplemental material has been added covering the five years since the close of the half century, five eventful and progressive years. Grateful recognition is given, not only to a multitude of friends and workers who have made possible the large achieve ments of this association, but also to a small group who by their efforts have made this volume possible. No effort is made to record their names, but the thanks of the association is due to each one who in his place has given loyal and valued assistance to this effort to briefly set forth the accomplishments of these years.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Part I examines the ethos of self-making and boosterism that has defined the city since its settlement in the 1830s, and argues that these energies formed the context for hinterland migration during the nineteenth century and beyond. Part 2 highlights the emotional and cultural foraces that continued to tie many migrants to the hinterland even after their arrival in Chicago. Part 3 looks at Chicago's ethnic communities through the eyes of hinterland migrants, underscoring the cultural authority of these native-born newcomers in mediating the assimilation of foreign immigrants. Chapter 6 focuses on the work of Jane Addams and Chapter 7 considers how Chicago's multiethnic community is portrayed in Edith Wyatt's and Elia Peattie's fiction and in Carl Sandburg's poetry.

Book excerpt: The Black Fives is a groundbreaking, timely history of the largely unknown early days of Black basketball, bringing to life the trailblazing players, teams, and impresarios who pioneered the sport. “For a game that has meant so much to the world, Claude Johnson somehow presents a definitive account for a part of basketball’s history that for so long was kept away from us. Claude is a superhero storyteller, and this book is a bona fide superpower.” —Justin Tinsley, author of It Was All a Dream: Biggie and the World That Made Him From the introduction of the game of basketball to Black communities on a wide scale in 1904 to the racial integration of the NBA in 1950, dozens of African American teams were founded and flourished. This period, known as the Black Fives Era (teams at the time were often called “fives”), was a time of pioneering players and managers. They battled discrimination and marginalization and created culturally rich, socially meaningful events. But despite headline-making rivalries between big-city clubs, barnstorming tours across the country, innovative business models, and undeniably talented players, this period is almost entirely unknown to basketball fans. Claude Johnson has made it his mission to change that. An advocate fiercely committed to our history, for more than two decades Johnson has conducted interviews, mined archives, collected artifacts, and helped to preserve this historically important African American experience that otherwise would have been lost. This essential book is the result of his work, a landmark narrative history that braids together the stories of these forgotten pioneers and rewrites our understanding of the story of basketball.

Each chapter provides a list of further readings for more in-depth study.
