- Summary:
- This is the story of Chicago and how it grew. In a little over a century it rose from a mere frontier outpost to become one of the great cities of the world. no single book can possibly encompass the immense scope of this development or convey the endless diversity of the life of Chicago's people. But with the help of a camera it is possible to capture many dimensions of this extraordinary story.
