Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Bygone Days in Chicago: Recollections of the Garden City of the Sixties As in our national life the old regime is divided from the new by the Civil War of 1861, so in the minds of Chicagoans the city's past is demarcated from the present by the great fire of 1871 In respect to both it is a case of before or after. Happily, the ordeal through which the nation was made to pass, exhausting as it was, left it physically intact; whereas the catastrophe that visited this community came near obliterating it, and in no respect was the destruction more complete, or so ir reparable, as in the matter of records and landmarks. Hence the ante-fire Garden City will exist for the future only as it may be restored from the memories of those who were of it; and while, unfortunately, all too little has been done to revive the Wonder City's past to evoke, amid indigenous surroundings, the masterful men and stir ring events that so distinguish its virile adolescence it is only too true that what is not soon recorded will be lost to future generations without hope of recovery.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Chicago Riot: A Record of the Terrible Scenes of May 4, 1886 The Red Flag. What nation and what government - This crimson tatter all besprent With human skulls, and flame and gore, Circling and flaunting evermore - What people does it represent? Emblem of treason and of hate, Red banner of an outlawed state, Each fold a lighted torch conceals, Each wave a glittering pike reveals, Each with its lurking, coward mate. Baptized in riot, blood, and fire, A faggot saved for freedom's pyre; Companion of the garb of shame, Without a home, without a name - Base bastard of an unknown sire! What deed of valor has it wrought? What hero hosts have cheered and fought, Keeping it ever in their sight, And died for principle and right And blessed liberty, blood-bought? No emblem can inspire so well A sortie of the hosts of hell! Where malice lurks and treason plots And foreign lepers bare their spots - There floats this ghastly sentinel. Haul down the flaunting alien rag - Foul insult to our starry flag! When they go waving side by side Where is the freeman's vaunted pride? Haul down the red, spew out the gag! - F. O. Bennett.

Download or read book Death in the Haymarket written by James Green and published by Anchor. This book was released on 2007-03-13 with total page 402 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On May 4, 1886, a bomb exploded at a Chicago labor rally, wounding dozens of policemen, seven of whom eventually died. A wave of mass hysteria swept the country, leading to a sensational trial, that culminated in four controversial executions, and dealt a blow to the labor movement from which it would take decades to recover. Historian James Green recounts the rise of the first great labor movement in the wake of the Civil War and brings to life an epic twenty-year struggle for the eight-hour workday. Blending a gripping narrative, outsized characters and a panoramic portrait of a major social movement, Death in the Haymarket is an important addition to the history of American capitalism and a moving story about the class tensions at the heart of Gilded Age America.

Download or read book Urban Disorder and the Shape of Belief written by Carl Smith and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2008-09-15 with total page 441 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Great Chicago Fire of 1871, the Haymarket bombing of 1886, and the making and unmaking of the model town of Pullman—these remarkable events in what many considered the quintessential American city forced people across the country to confront the disorder that seemed inevitably to accompany urban growth and social change. In Urban Disorder and the Shape of Belief, Carl Smith explores the imaginative dimensions of these events as he traces the evolution of interconnected beliefs and actions that increasingly linked city, disorder, and social reality in the minds of Americans. Examining a remarkable range of writings and illustrations, as well as protests, public gatherings, trials, hearings, and urban reform and construction efforts, Smith argues that these three events—and the public awareness of them—not only informed one another, but collectively shaped how Americans understood, and continue to understand, Chicago and modern urban life. This classic of urban cultural history is updated with a foreword by the author that expands our understanding of urban disorder to encompass such recent examples as Hurricane Katrina, the Oklahoma City Bombing, and 9/11. “Cultural history at its finest. By utilizing questions and methodologies of urban studies, social history, and literary history, Smith creates a sophisticated account of changing visions of urban America.”—Robin F. Bachin, Journal of Interdisciplinary History

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Chicago Yesterdays: A Sheaf of Reminiscences The historian sifts and sifts through his sieve, and from the residue - that which is too thick and solid to go through his meshes - he constructs his story. In this book we lovers of Chicago have done differently. Only that which would slip through the sieve is here offered the reader. Truth lies in the dust that the scholar rejects as well as in the solid nuggets he gathers. From this dust we hope to reconstruct for your delectation at least a vision, a mirage of the simple, hard-working, every-day existence of the men and women of yesterday whose dutiful, industrious lives bequeathed to us of to-day one of the wonders of this age. Fourth city on the globe in point of size as the census goes, Chicago is second to none in importance as the great market of the western and eastern hemispheres. Reapers made in Chicago reap the grains of Siberia and the Argentine. Products of Packingtown support life at the North and South Poles, and in the loneliest, remotest of the Polynesian isles. Steel from our great mills forms the skeletons of ships on the seven seas, and the rails of transcontinental railways in distant countries. The strenuous industrial and commercial present is reflected in the city's social life. The families of the men at the head of the vast enterprises, which are the sources of the city's power, are the directing force in Chicago's society.
