With a selection of fine historic images from his bestselling
book Historic Photos of Chicago, Russell Lewis provides
a valuable and revealing historical retrospective on the growth and
development of Chicago. Chicago’s history is a testimony to the
resilience of its citizens. From its rebirth after the Great Fire
in 1871, the city met and overcame the social and economic
challenges of the century to follow. Many of the events of the
city’s history are recorded in photographs in the archives of the
Chicago History Museum. This volume, Remembering
Chicago, captures the city’s history through a selection of
those photographs. The book follows life, government, education,
and events spanning two centuries of Chicago’s history. It
captures unique and rare scenes through the original lens of more
than a hundred historic photographs. These images portray the
evolution of Chicago from a frontier town to one of the world’s
most cosmopolitan cities.
