Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chicago’s World’s Columbian Exposition, popularly called the Chicago World’s Fair, or the White City, was the largest and most spectacular world’s fair ever built. The Columbian Exposition opened on May 1, 1893, and more than 21,000,000 people visited the fair during the six months it was open to the public. The White City was a seminal event in America’s history that changed the way the world viewed Chicago. Fortunately, the fair was documented in stunning photographs by commercial and amateur photographers. This volume tells the story of the fair from its construction in Jackson Park to its destruction by fire after the fair had closed. Photographs of the exhibition halls, state buildings, foreign buildings, indoor and outdoor exhibits, the attractions of the Midway, and the various ways to move about the fairgrounds give a sense of how visitors experienced this extraordinary time and place.

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 . . .

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Best Things to Be Seen at the World's Fair The Aim Of The Compiler has been to point out to the visitor the best things to be seen at the World's Columbian Exposition, and this includes everything that is remarkably beautiful, wonderful or curious. Hints are given here which, if followed, will assist the visitor in his efforts to see the greatest attractions of the fair without loss of time. It is presumed that many thousands of people will visit the fair who have at their command but a few hours or a few days. They cannot see everything. They will want to know where to find the things that are likely to be longest remembered and most talked of after the Exposition shall have passed away. One might spend a week in the great Manufactures building alone, and still come away without seeing many of the beautiful or the wonderful things displayed there. One might spend a month inside the Exposition and still discover that he had failed to see some of its greatest attractions. Midway Plaisance itself is so crowded with exhibits of an amazing, interesting and pleasing character, that some of them must necessarily be passed over by the visitor. In order that in hurrying through the Exposition and Midway Plaisance the visitor may not miss the very things it is most important that he should see, the hints in this book are given, and this is the excuse for its publication. I desire to give credit and thanks to The Chicago Graphic for the use of the originals of many of the sculptural sketches used in this work. The Graphic has done as much as any other American publication toward presenting to the public the unparalleled artistic features of the Fair. And I am equally indebted to the reporters of Chicago newspapers for valuable information and much matter of a discriptive character.
