Book excerpt: Excerpt from Chicago: Its History and Its Builders, Vol. 2: A Century of Marvelous Growth The four years following the events narrated in the last chapter of the preceding volume were years of intense political excitement. The deep feeling of resentment prevailing throughout the North caused by the enactment of the Fugitive Slave law was not allayed but settled into a permanent conviction that slavery must be exterminated. Even Lincoln. had at last awakened from his conservatism and had declared that the country could not continue to exist "half slave and half free." Talk of disunion among the Southern statesmen already filled the air and one of the remembered phrases of Lincoln's "lost speech" was that memorable utterance, "We wont go out of the Union, and you shan't." Douglas had been the chief instrument in carrying through the bill organizing the territories of Kansas and Nebraska, one clause of which repealed the Missouri Compromise. This was May 30th, 1854.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Story of Chicago The best a historian can do is to approach accuracy before venturing upon publication; and, after publication, - to approach it more and more nearly; for to reach it is beyond his utmost scope. The degree in which he can do this latter is dependent on the trouble his readers may take in pointing out to him his errors of omission and commission. "A word to the wise is sufficient;" and these words are addressed to all who are interested enough to read, wise enough to criticise and friendly enough to correct, for the benefit of posterity, this "Story of Chicago." Through the kindness of friends, some valuable additions, emendations and corrections are possible in this Second Edition. It is hoped that others may be kindly furnished for future use.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Discovery and Conquests of the Northwest With the History of Chicago, Vol. 2 of 2 The American colonists forged an advanced link in this chain when they astonished Europe by improvising new principles in national policy. That these princi ples were an improvement on the old is proven from the fact that, in substance, they have been adopted by the leading nations of Europe. In the westward course of empire the great North west poses as the ideal type of the principles essential to our integrity as a Nation. This is the last link in the chain, none of which are missing, in the pages of history, from Greece, across the Atlantic; and from its rugged shores to the Northwest. Here it is our mission to reproduce, on our own soil, with improvements, all that is worth copying in Europe. Chicago has begun this work here, and the records of this volume would be imperfect without their con temporary history.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first major history of Chicago ever written, A History of Chicago covers the city’s great history over two centuries, from 1673 to 1893. Originally conceived as a centennial history of Chicago, the project became, under the guidance of renowned historian Bessie Louise Pierce, a definitive, three-volume set describing the city’s growth—from its humble frontier beginnings to the horrors of the Great Fire, the construction of some of the world’s first skyscrapers, and the opulence of the 1893 World’s Fair. Pierce and her assistants spent over forty years transforming historical records into an inspiring human story of growth and survival. Rich with anecdotal evidence and interviews with the men and women who made Chicago great, all three volumes will now be available for the first time in years. A History of Chicago will be essential reading for anyone who wants to know this great city and its place in America. “With this rescue of its history from the bright, impressionable newspapermen and from the subscription-volumes, Chicago builds another impressive memorial to its coming of age, the closing of its first ‘century of progress.’”—E. D. Branch, New York Times (1937)

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Centennial of Illinois Statehood 1818-1918: Commemorated by the Chicago Historical Society, Orchestra Hall, April 19, 1918, Address; Illinois in History Mr. Burley: Guests, Friends, Fellow Members of the Society: In behalf of the Chicago Historical Society, I welcome you all. I cannot permit myself to be mentioned as a son of one of the earliest citizens of Chicago, without calling to your attention that there are others more worthy of that appellation. There are many here, and we have tried to have represented here the old families. There are descendants of the Ryerson family, the Ogden family, the Goodrich family, the Mason family. I see a descendant of the Stephen F. Gale, who came here in 1831. I cannot name them all or I should take up too much time. I must not be classed with the really old families - my father did not come here until 1837. We have here, also, or we were to have had, the daughter of Shadrach Bond, the first Governor of Illinois, in 1818 - and that is some time back. We have also with us Mrs. Tyler, the daughter of Mr. William H. Brown, who was the first president of the Chicago Historical Society. One hundred years ago, in 1818, Illinois was admitted as a state. It was not done all at once. There was first an Enabling Act. That was on the 18th day of April; and they have been celebrating that yesterday, and the day before, at Springfield. Then there were other Acts; and finally the State was admitted in December of the year 1818. The Centennial Commission, appointed by the Governor, thought it fitting, and it does seem proper, to have various ceremonies throughout the State, celebrations of this great event at different times through this year.
