Book excerpt: Excerpt from Chicago and Its Distinguished Citizens, or the Progress of Forty Years: Being a Record of the Important Events in the History of Chicago, and a Description of Its Industries, Professions and Societies, Together With Biographical Sketches of Prominent Citizens The history of Chicago, up to the present time, will always possess something of the character of romance to the reader. So rapid and power ful has been its growth amidst conditions which originally were not only not wholly favorable, but largely adverse, that even those who have been witnesses to its development are wrapped in wonderment as they behold its beauty and contemplate its commercial importance. From an appar ently worthless waste to an elegant city of over half a million of people, is naturally a long step, and one which, under ordinary circumstances, would be expected to cover centuries. Chicago has spanned the distance in fifty years; and while the maturing influence of age is yet to temper her youth ful spirit, and touch the rude spots to be found here and there, with symmetry and elegance, she is already beautiful to behold and lovely to contemplate.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Black Chicago’s First Century, Christopher Robert Reed provides the first comprehensive study of an African American population in a nineteenth-century northern city beyond the eastern seaboard. Reed’s study covers the first one hundred years of African American settlement and achievements in the Windy City, encompassing a range of activities and events that span the antebellum, Civil War, Reconstruction, and post-Reconstruction periods. The author takes us from a time when black Chicago provided both workers and soldiers for the Union cause to the ensuing decades that saw the rise and development of a stratified class structure and growth in employment, politics, and culture. Just as the city was transformed in its first century of existence, so were its black inhabitants. Methodologically relying on the federal pension records of Civil War soldiers at the National Archives, as well as previously neglected photographic evidence, manuscripts, contemporary newspapers, and secondary sources, Reed captures the lives of Chicago’s vast army of ordinary black men and women. He places black Chicagoans within the context of northern urban history, providing a better understanding of the similarities and differences among them. We learn of the conditions African Americans faced before and after Emancipation. We learn how the black community changed and developed over time: we learn how these people endured—how they educated their children, how they worked, organized, and played. Black Chicago’s First Century is a balanced and coherent work. Anyone with an interest in urban history or African American studies will find much value in this book.
