Lindberg is one of Chicago’s most popular historians, so it’s no surprise that this smorgasbord of stories is authoritative yet easy to read, important yet entertaining, somewhat familiar yet surprising. This book is full of engaging pleasures. It’s a must-read for anyone drawn to Chicago history.”—Greg Borzo, author of \u003ci\u003eChicago’s Fabulous Fountains \u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“\u003ci\u003eTales of Forgotten Chicago\u003c\/i\u003e is a compilation of stories of a little-known \u003ci\u003eother\u003c\/i\u003e side of Chicago—a side that is infinitely more interesting than one more book about the St. Valentine’s Day Massacre.”—Richard F.
