Book excerpt: Excerpt from Chicago, a Strangers and Tourists Guide to the City of Chicago: Containing Reminiscences of Chicago in the Early Day; An Account of the Rise and Progress of the City; Description of Public Buildings, Churches, Schools and Objects of Interest; Etc Chicago's history is brief. From the time when two families constituted its entire white population to the time when that population had increased to 200,000 son's, but a short period of thirty-five years elapsed. The Arabian Nights' Entertainments contain nothing more marvelous than the rapid growth of our city. He who had prophesied thirty-five years ago of its present greatness would have been called a crazy fool. What more wonderful, more strange, more beyond belief, than the growth of Chicago's greatness. In the same half century when other cities, enterprising, prosperous, fortunate, have congratulated themselves upon having added ten per cent, to their population, Chicago has increased a hundred thousand-fold. In the old world, where an atlas published as far back as thirty years is considered to answer the wants of the schools and to give a tolerably correct view of a country's cities, the increase of Chicago must, indeed, be thought a miracle, and not, as it is, the me e result of enterprise, the energy of business men, the gathering together, the harmonious working, of a multitude, each one of which was a giant in the work he accomplished and the business he was building up. The first visit, by any white man, to the spot where now stands the city of Chicago, of which we can find any authentic mention, was made in the year 1678. In the spring of that year Frontenac, of Canada, sent out an expedition under Louis Joliet to explore the direction and source of the Mississippi river. That intrepid French Jesuit, Pere Jacques Marquette, accompanied the party as missionary. With five other Frenchmen, they left Mackinac in two canoes, on the 17th of May, and, reaching the Wisconsin river by way of Green Bay, Fox River, and a portage, floated clown to the Mississippi, on whose waters they found themselves by the 17th of June.

Download or read book Chicago by Day and Night written by Paul Durica and published by Northwestern University Press. This book was released on 2013-05-21 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Showcasing the first Ferris wheel, dazzling and unprecedented electrification, and exhibits from around the world, the World’s Columbian Exposition of 1893 was Chicago’s chance to demonstrate that it had risen from the ashes of the Great Fire and was about to take its place as one of the world’s great cities. Millions would flock to the fair, and many of them were looking for a good time before and after their visits to the Midway and the White City. But what was the bedazzled visitor to do in Chicago? Chicago by Day and Night: The Pleasure Seeker’s Guide to the Paris of America, a very unofficial guide to the world beyond the fair, slaked the thirst of such curious folk. The pleasures it details range from the respectable (theater, architecture, parks, churches and synagogues) to the illicit—drink, gambling, and sex. With a wink and a nod, the book decries vice while offering precise directions for the indulgence of any desire. In this newly annotated edition, Chicagoans Paul Durica and Bill Savage—who, if born earlier, might have written chapters in the original—provide colorful context and an informative introduction to a wildly entertaining journey through the Chicago of 120 years ago.
