The staff of the Chicago Tribune presents 150 moments in politics, sports, the arts, entertainment, and business from as early as 1847 the year the Chicago Tribune was founded. The text and period illustrations pay tribute to the area's crowded history of growth, innovation, and triumph over adversity. At the same time, they recall the city's crooked politicians, notorious gangsters, and disreputable characters. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
