Book excerpt: Excerpt from Authentic Visitors' Guide to the World's Columbian Exposition and Chicago: May 1 to October 30, 1893; Dedicatory Ceremonies, October 20, 21, 22, 1892; Condensed Information Compiled From Official Sources To intelligently view the many miles of exhibit frontage at the Exposition will require at least a month. A treatise of five hundred pages might be prepared without exhausting this subject; so voluminous a work, however, would be as vague and fruitless to the visitor as would be an attempt to take in the vast display in a few hours. The purpose of the Authentic Visitors' Guide is to furnish, in brief and attractive form, all information required by the stranger relating to the Exposition and the city of Chicago. The maps in this compilation are permanent and accurate, and must prove an indispensable aid to every one unacquainted with Chicago's streets and railway systems. The classified index to 1,000 subjects, on pages 60 to 67, aids in the prompt location of all exhibits. It indicates the group number and the building in which the desired object may be found. This system of classification has been arranged exclusively for the Authentic Visitors' Guide, and is copyrighted.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What came to be known as the World s Columbian Exposition was planned to commemorate the 400th anniversary of Christopher Columbus s 1492 landfall in the New World. Chicago beat out New York City, St. Louis, Missouri, and Washington, DC, in its bid as host a coup for the Windy City. The site finally selected for the fair was Jackson Park, originally designed by Frederick Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux, a marshy area covered with dense, wild vegetation. Daniel H. Burnham and John W. Root were selected as chief architects, creating the famous White City. The fair featured several different thematic areas: the Great Buildings, Foreign Buildings, State Buildings, and the Midway Plaisance, a nearly mile-long area that featured exotic exhibits. The exposition also showcased the world s first Ferris Wheel and introduced fairgoers to new sensations like Cracker Jack, Pabst Beer, and ragtime music. The World s Columbian Exposition, covering 633 acres, opened on May 1, 1893. Admission prices were 50cents for adults, 25cents for children under 12 years of age, and free for children under six. Unfortunately, by 1896, most of the fair s buildings had been removed or destroyed, but this collection takes readers on a tour of the grounds as they looked in 1893."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'An irresistible page-turner that reads like the most compelling, sleep defying fiction' TIME OUT One was an architect. The other a serial killer. This is the incredible story of these two men and their realization of the Chicago World's Fair of 1893, and its amazing 'White City'; one of the wonders of the world. The architect was Daniel H. Burnham, the driving force behind the White City, the massive, visionary landscape of white buildings set in a wonderland of canals and gardens. The killer was H. H. Holmes, a handsome doctor with striking blue eyes. He used the attraction of the great fair - and his own devilish charms - to lure scores of young women to their deaths. While Burnham overcame politics, infighting, personality clashes and Chicago's infamous weather to transform the swamps of Jackson Park into the greatest show on Earth, Holmes built his own edifice just west of the fairground. He called it the World's Fair Hotel. In reality it was a torture palace, a gas chamber, a crematorium. These two disparate but driven men are brought to life in this mesmerizing, murderous tale of the legendary Fair that transformed America and set it on course for the twentieth century . . .

This book was released on 2015-06-26 with total page 422 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Historical World's Columbian Exposition and Chicago Guide The undertaking of Columbian Expositions by both Italy and the United States is an event of no little historical importance; for though, as at the Philadelphia Centennial, various motives may actuate the visitors in attendance, there must result even to the most superficial observers an impulse which will largely modify the efforts of mankind during the decades next succeeding. But Italy, which has little claim upon Columbus beyond the accident of having furnished him a birth-place, so little cared for as to be now unknown, and Italy, which however great her influence in European politics, had no share in the pioneer labors which added to the world the American continents: Italy will necessarily dwell mainly upon the memorials which connect Columbus with her history. America, on the other hand, as the outgrowth of labors which did not foresee her future, will use the past simply as a background for the present, and will emphasize not the medieval conditions under which Columbus was allowed to make his geographical experiment, but rather the new civilization which, rendered possible by the discovery of Columbus, has changed even the conditions of life on the Eastern continent, and which may well accept the city of Chicago as a recent illustration of its aims and methods.
