For if I were an old settler now, I could look into my memory and see lovely, long-ago things by the thousand.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Kup's Chicago For nearly twenty years, or ever since I began writing Kup's Column in the Chicago Times, now the Sun - Times, I've been following my town's daily drama and recording some of its history, checking its blood pressure, taking its pulse. In that time I have come to know many of its faces intimately, and it has many - from the stockyards to plush executive suites, from the slums and skid row to the Gold Coast. I've become acquainted with its politicos and merchant princes, its financial wizards and writers, and with the educators, clergy, sports heroes, hoodlums, and other con spicuous citizens and celebrities of our community. I've reported murders, scandals, marriages, premieres, and national political con ventions (of which Chicago has had more than any other city twenty-three). I've been amused, intrigued, outraged, enthralled, and eaperated by Chicago. And I've come to love this American giant, Viewing it as the most misunderstood, most underrated city in the world. There is none other quite like it, my City of Big Shoulders. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 2017-10-18 with total page 504 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Reminiscences of Early Chicago and Vicinity Youth, like softened wax, with ease will take Those images that first impressions make. The evolution of Chicago from an insignificant trading post to what it is to-day, occurring, as it has, during the continuous residence within its borders of a person who, as Holmes would say, is but 68 years young, seems more like a fairy story than an historical reality. I shall not endeavor to make an exact chronological statement of the incidents of our remarkable develop ment, but rather to view the ground in its primal state and speak of the early toilers who planted the seeds which have produced the results so marvelous in themselves and of such interest to us and posterity. My purpose is to draw the curtain (every day be coming more difficult to do), which conceals the slowly fading past from the rapidly changing present, that the reader may acquire, as I did, some knowledge of the characteristics of the men who planted the orchard whose fruit is now the wonder and admiration of every land.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Early-Chicago Reminiscences We left Buffalo, August 26, for a goo-mile journey by land for Chicago, and traveled a couple of hundred miles along the shore of Lake Erie through Pennsylvania and Ohio. Instead of finding it a wilderness as we expected, we found a beautiful farming coun try, well settled by thriving farmers, good farm-houses, and fruit in abundance, and until we reached Cleveland, then a town of about 3000 inhabitants, first-rate macadamized roads. We hoped to find plenty of game, but were not quite so foolish as a young Englishman who was visiting at my house a few years since, who asked the morning after his arrival if he could walk out a few miles and get a shot at a buffalo, but did expect we might shoot a deer now and then; but, with the exception of two or three that crossed the road a few miles from Cleveland, and once again in Michigan, we saw none, and with small game it was about the same. We had two or three hours good duck-shooting on the Sandusky River, and once in a while shot a stray pigeon along our route, but that was all until we arrived at White Pigeon, when we ame across a flock of prairie-chickens and bagged a few of them, and once again at Door Prairie, about ten miles from Michi gan City, where we shot a couple, but with these few exceptions we saw no game in our two months' traveling.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Chicago: The Blue Sky Dress I3fancy's acquaintance consented to dwell in Italy, for that seemeth a fair country, and it is, moreover, the one that taught men how to think after their long for getting. But my creatures are chivalrous, and Italy was not the home of chivalry. They are sincere and credulous, and Italy was wise with an ancient wisdom and scoffed. I was therefore constrained, whether I would or not, to leave a place so intelleetual, so discriminating, so well adapted to enduring achievement, and walk with my insouciant folk to the very careless land of Provence. There are or chards blooming, the gentle country all abloom with fresh grass and the brooding day solicits lovers, finders of song, amorous and aspiring women, men whose pride it is to die for the sepulchre, and all other foolish persons.

Download or read book Maroon Tales written by Will J. Cuppy and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-17 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Maroon Tales: University of Chicago Stories When Phil had paid his tuition, he felt that at last he was a part of the University. And he liked the feeling. He liked the great, gray, English Gothic buildings, with their steep, red roofs and their plain, strong outlines, and he liked what he saw through the windows. Most of all, he liked the looks of the fellows all about him. He liked everything and everybody on the campus, with the single exception of Freddy Ball, whom he detested. As Freddy was his roommate, he could not ignore the obtrusive fact that he existed. A singularly painful dispensation of Provi dence had condemned Phil and Freddy to unpleasant companionship. It was their mis fortune to be cousins, and both were heartily ashamed of it. Their mothers, the most loving of sisters, would have been terribly shocked had they known of the unnatural animosity harbored by their sons. For that reason alone the boys had refrained from damaging each other's faces, and always exchanged Christmas and birthday gifts, accompanied by excessive written expressions of regard, which were meant to be withering.
