Omslag till John R. Schmidt: Unknown Chicago Tales (ePUB)

Chicago’s most famous stories tend to crowd out the competition and shout down alternate perspectives. Visit with the man who founded a 150-year-long Chicago political dynasty. Take a peek at some of the lesser-known Chicago film classics. Review Professor Moriarty’s Chicago caper and Annie Oakley’s cocaine case. Uncover the lengths to which Chicago’s long-celebrated Mr. Pioneer Settler went to keep a slave. Discover why the Kennedy curves at Division Street and why the county jail saved a gallows for fifty years. From Death Valley Scotty’s wild ride to the bowling ball that went around the world, John Schmidt provides a parade of Chicago originals.
