Descriere magazin:
City of Big Shoulders links key events in Chicago\'s development, from its marshy origins in the 1600s to today\'s robust metropolis. Robert G. Spinney presents Chicago in terms of the people whose lives made the city--from the tycoons and the politicians to the hundreds of thousands of immigrants from all over the world. In this revised and updated second edition that brings Chicago\'s story into the twenty-first century, Spinney sweeps his historian\'s gaze across the colorful and dramatic panorama of the city\'s explosive past. How did the pungent swamplands that the Native Americans called the wild-garlic place burgeon into one of the world\'s largest and most sophisticated cities? What is the real story behind the Great Chicago Fire? What aspects of American industry exploded with the bomb in Haymarket Square? Could the gritty blue-collar hometown of Al Capone become a visionary global city? A city of immigrants and entrepreneurs, Chicago is quintessentially American. Spinney brings it to life and highlights the key people, moments, and special places--from Fort Dearborn to Cabrini-Green, Marquette to Mayor Daley, the Union Stock Yards to the Chicago Bulls--that make this incredible city one of the best places in the world. -- "Journal of Illinois History" About the Author Robert G.
