Chicago Stories: Tales of the City
YA-Intimacy, immediacy, and a sense of place distinguish these stories that chronicle the human dimension of historical and sociological events that include organized crime, prohibition, labor issues, race relations, sports, and welfare from the late 1800s to the mid 1900s. The writers include prize-winning journalists, poets, novelists, and playwrights as well as one unknown letter writer whose account of the Chicago fire is simply and eloquently expressed.Copyright 1994 Cahners Business Information, Inc.--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
