Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Reminiscences of Early Chicago: With an Introduction The great interest aroused a year ago by the publication of the Autobiography of Gurdon Saltonstall Hubbard in the annual volume of The Lakeside Classics has influenced the publishers to seek more material pertaining to the pioneer days of Chicago as the subject for this year´s volume. Unfortunately no one work of appropriate size and sustained interest has been found available; but in the selections from the writings of Charles Fenno Hoffman and Harriet Martineau, two talented travelers who visited Chicago when it was a village, in an historical address by John Wentworth, and in the reminiscences of Mr. Wentworth, Mr. J. Y. Scammon, and Judge John Caton at the Old Settlers´ Reunion of the Calumet Club in 1879 the publishers believe they have found material that teems with the spirit of the days of early Chicago, and gives an intimate picture of what Chicago really was in the thirties. To Miss Mabel McIlvaine is due great credit for her untiring efforts in searching out these selections from the great mass of material in the library of the Chicago Historical Society, and for her Introduction.
