Book Synopsis
A work that traces the storied past of the author's hometown, from the explorations of Joliet and Marquette in 1673 to the new wave of urban pioneers today. It gives voice to the city's steelyard workers and kill floor operators, and maps the neighborhoods distinguished not by Louis Sullivan masterworks but by bungalows and corner taverns.
