Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Juvenile Instructor, Vol. 27 The attention of most of the people in the United States is naturally directed at present towards the city of Chicago, where, during the coming year, there will doubtless be the largest gathering of people from all parts of the world that has ever occurred. Whatever may have been said in the past concerning the difficulty of reaching this inland city, and whatever objections may have been offered to the section of this place for the holding of this great exposition, it will still be found that Chicago is sufficiently easy of access to bring almost innumerable concourses of people together to witness the various articles from all parts of the world which will there be exhibited. There is scarcely any one who can realize how rapidly this great city has sprung into existence, and attained its present magnitude and importance. A few years ago it was scarcely mentioned in the geographies which were used in the common schools, and when the Saints were driven out of Nauvoo, Chicago had no commercial importance whatever; in fact it is an open question as to which would have been the more important city, Nauvoo or Chicago, had the Saints been left peacefully in their homes on the banks of the Mississippi.
