Book Synopsis Daniel Trentworthy by : John McGovern
Download or read book Daniel Trentworthy written by John McGovern and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-07-05 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Daniel Trentworthy: A Tale of the Great Fire of Chicago Human history must deal with human interest. Events thought to be unimportant in their day may tower up with the ages - as the death of Shakespeare. Events great as a royal marriage may be buried as deeply in a library as they could be inhumed in oblivion; for what is oblivion but lack of interest by the living? All is for the living; nothing for the dead. Let us then deal candidly with events, subjectively as to their merits, objectively as to the interest they arouse, at once and forever. By that means we may perhaps claim that in three centuries there have been but three events in the first class of human interest - namely: Seventeenth century, the works and death of Shakespeare. Eighteenth century, the French Revolution. Nineteenth century, the destruction of Chicago. I shall tell a simple tale of the nineteenth century which may hold the reader's attention because of the august presence of a kingly event. I shall ask the man of keen sympathy and sound imagination to pass through days that must seem longer than days.

Book Synopsis Chicago Yesterdays by : Caroline Kirkland
Download or read book Chicago Yesterdays written by Caroline Kirkland and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-07-19 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Chicago Yesterdays: A Sheaf of Reminiscences The historian sifts and sifts through his sieve, and from the residue - that which is too thick and solid to go through his meshes - he constructs his story. In this book we lovers of Chicago have done differently. Only that which would slip through the sieve is here offered the reader. Truth lies in the dust that the scholar rejects as well as in the solid nuggets he gathers. From this dust we hope to reconstruct for your delectation at least a vision, a mirage of the simple, hard-working, every-day existence of the men and women of yesterday whose dutiful, industrious lives bequeathed to us of to-day one of the wonders of this age. Fourth city on the globe in point of size as the census goes, Chicago is second to none in importance as the great market of the western and eastern hemispheres. Reapers made in Chicago reap the grains of Siberia and the Argentine. Products of Packingtown support life at the North and South Poles, and in the loneliest, remotest of the Polynesian isles. Steel from our great mills forms the skeletons of ships on the seven seas, and the rails of transcontinental railways in distant countries. The strenuous industrial and commercial present is reflected in the city's social life. The families of the men at the head of the vast enterprises, which are the sources of the city's power, are the directing force in Chicago's society.

Book Synopsis Chicago's Great Fire by : Carl Smith
Download or read book Chicago's Great Fire written by Carl Smith and published by Grove Atlantic. This book was released on 2020-10-06 with total page 279 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A definitive chronicle of the 1871 Chicago Fire as remembered by those who experienced it—from the author of Chicago and the American Literary Imagination. Over three days in October, 1871, much of Chicago, Illinois, was destroyed by one of the most legendary urban fires in history. Incorporated as a city in 1837, Chicago had grown at a breathtaking pace in the intervening decades—and much of the hastily-built city was made of wood. Starting in Catherine and Patrick O’Leary’s barn, the Fire quickly grew out of control, twice jumping branches of the Chicago River on its relentless path through the city’s three divisions. While the death toll was miraculously low, nearly a third of Chicago residents were left homeless and more were instantly unemployed. This popular history of the Great Chicago Fire approaches the subject through the memories of those who experienced it. Chicago historian Carl Smith builds the story around memorable characters, both known to history and unknown, including the likes of General Philip Sheridan and Robert Todd Lincoln. Smith chronicles the city’s rapid growth and its place in America’s post-Civil War expansion. The dramatic story of the fire—revealing human nature in all its guises—became one of equally remarkable renewal, as Chicago quickly rose back up from the ashes thanks to local determination and the world’s generosity. As we approach the fire’s 150th anniversary, Carl Smith’s compelling narrative at last gives this epic event its full and proper place in our national chronicle. “The best book ever written about the fire, a work of deep scholarship by Carl Smith that reads with the forceful narrative of a fine novel. It puts the fire and its aftermath in historical, political and social context. It’s a revelatory pleasure to read.” —Chicago Tribune

Book Synopsis Bygone Days in Chicago by : Frederick Francis Cook
Download or read book Bygone Days in Chicago written by Frederick Francis Cook and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-30 with total page 550 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Bygone Days in Chicago: Recollections of the Garden City of the Sixties As in our national life the old regime is divided from the new by the Civil War of 1861, so in the minds of Chicagoans the city's past is demarcated from the present by the great fire of 1871 In respect to both it is a case of before or after. Happily, the ordeal through which the nation was made to pass, exhausting as it was, left it physically intact; whereas the catastrophe that visited this community came near obliterating it, and in no respect was the destruction more complete, or so ir reparable, as in the matter of records and landmarks. Hence the ante-fire Garden City will exist for the future only as it may be restored from the memories of those who were of it; and while, unfortunately, all too little has been done to revive the Wonder City's past to evoke, amid indigenous surroundings, the masterful men and stir ring events that so distinguish its virile adolescence it is only too true that what is not soon recorded will be lost to future generations without hope of recovery.
