Like all of his histories, it reads like a novel. I’ve read almost all of them.

Reading it now and enjoying it. I’ve learned a lot about the histories of Chicago and architectural engineering.

I loved it!, there is an architect named Van Brunt mentioned. One of the designers of the Worlds Fair. From Kansas City. There is a Van Brunt Boulevard…..who knew?

It was good. I was really interested because I had read my husband’s grandparents’ diary that they kept when they visited the World’s Fair.
