Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Before Lincoln Park cemented its trendy reputation, plenty of odd and unruly history managed to settle into its foundation. A Viking ship, mob henchmen and ladies of the evening all took up residence in the same part of town where Dwight L. Moody went from selling soles to saving souls. Thanks to a Confederate ferryboat crewman, many of Lincoln's personal effects belong to the neighborhood named after him. Patrick Butler uncovers Lincoln Park's forgotten contributions to Chicago's heritage, from the "Pleasure Wheel" on Navy Pier to the city's cycling craze.

Download or read book Lincoln Park written by The Lincoln Park Preservation Alliance and published by Arcadia Library Editions. This book was released on 2005-11 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The origins of Lincoln Park can be traced back to the 1763 Conspiracy of Pontiac and French ribbon farms belonging to the Goodells, Keppens, Drouillards, LeBlancs, and Bourassas. This book, composed by the Lincoln Park Preservation Alliance and featuring over 200 rare photographs from the Lincoln Park Historical Museum, reveals how a sleepy agricultural community known as Quandt's Corners grew into a village and eventually a bustling business community--due in large part to Henry Ford's innovative "five dollars a day" incentive at the nearby Ford Rouge plant. Through these vintage photographs, Lincoln Park captures the events and everyday activities that have come to define one of southeastern Michigan's most distinctive communities. Featured in this collection are Lincoln Park's schools, churches, businesses, and organizations, as well as its 20th-century identity as a melting pot of Italian, Hungarian, Greek, Slovakian, and Mexican immigrants.
Download or read book Giants in the Park Second Edition written by Krista August and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-27 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Giants in the Park" is a history guide for the monuments in Chicago's Lincoln Park. Giants encountered with this walking tour guidebook include Lincoln, LaSalle, Grant, Sheridan, Schiller, Goethe, Altgeld ... seventeen portrait statues in all. Missing monuments and salient park history are documented as well. Lincoln the Man is the most important statue on the tour and is a masterpiece of Augustus Saint-Gaudens, the ranking American sculptor of his era. Saint-Gaudens' Lincoln was groundbreaking when unveiled in 1887. With the inclusion of the classical chair behind the standing Lincoln and with its elaborate base designed by architect Stanford White, it is much more than the typical portrait statue. Of all the park's monuments, our LaSalle bronze is the most significant to Chicago's history. At it's unveiling in 1889, LaSalle was celebrated as the man "to whose geographical discoveries American civilization owes a heavy debt." After being the first white-man to travel the full-length of the Mississippi River in 1682, LaSalle returned to the Chicago portage the following winter, where in his journal, he predicted the rise of a great city. The history behind each and every monument is unique and exciting. Throughout the book, interesting connections exist, to a wide variety of topics and early Chicago personalities: the Columbian Exposition of 1893, the Haymarket affair, the Great Chicago Fire, the Civil War, early Chicago ethnic groups, the park's cemetery years, Charles Yerkes, Frances Willard, Mayor Carter Harrison and much more. Lincoln Park's monumental art invites us to explore the old: to study the heroes of our Chicago forefathers; and through examining the realization of their likenesses, to glimpse moments and ideals from our great city's youth.

Download or read book Chicago s Parks written by John Graf and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2000-07-10 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: No other city in the world has a park system as great as Chicagos, which includes over 550 parks totaling more than 7,000 acres. Each park has its own story, as well as unique characteristics and history, and yet the majority of Chicagoans are not aware of the wealth, variety, and sheer number of parks that exist, to say nothing of the ideas they project, the history they commemorate, and the origins of their names. Chicagos Parks: A Photographic History seeks to remedy this oversight. From Chicagos first park, Dearborn Park, to its more famous parks of Grant and Lincoln, this book provides a wealth of information concerning the origins of the names and plans of these Chicago landmarks. A formal plan for the creation of a park system was developed in 1869, and soon Chicago had some of the greatest parks to be found anywhere in the world. When Chicago was founded in 1837, the citys fathers adopted the motto urbs in horto, or the city set in a garden. Despite the numerous changes that have taken place over the past 160 years, Chicago is still a city set in a garden. Chicagos Parks: A Photographic History captures the growth of that garden with its nearly 200 historic photographs.
