GILBERT PENS .GRAPHIC N . EW STORY OF CHICAGO Volume of One Thousand Pages, "Chicago and Its Makers," Written by Kenilworth Man After two years of preparation, "Chicago and Its · Makers," a volume of one thousand pages, written by Paul T. Gilbert of .Kenilworth in collabora-· tion with Charles Lee Bryson, has issued from the press. The book contains not only ·the first comprehensive histor~ of ~hicago published since the Worlds Fatr da~s, but a v.·ealth of biographical matenal and illustration s. The chronicle carries the reader from the days of the early missionary exploratio11s, through the period of the first crude settlement. the building of Fort Dearborn, the Fort Dearborn massacn:. the rebuilding of the fortress. the incorporation of the village, its early grO}\·th and. land boom. to the Chicago fire of 1871, and events down to th e prc se1~ t day. Graphic Description The hi storv is no clrv, prosaic re cital of facts. but ·is \Hitten. rather from th e standp oint of the trained ne\\·spaper man, as if the authors had been pre:;ent at the scene s describ~d. a treatment for which the writers, fr om their long experience on the mctropolita !l pre ss , see m eminently qualified. In th e: pageant thus r e-e nacted. char acters lung forgotten are mad e to li\' ~ and breathe, and much oi the narra tin~ is done in con\'crsational f() rm . One hear s again th e .Jesuit prie st s di :-.cussing the godless I11dian s ; hears th e g rumbling of the soldi ers a s th ey har ne ss thcm se h ·es to the log s for th e erection of Fort Dearb orn: hears th e squeak of John Kinzie's mellow fiddle as he plays for his daughter' s \\o·edding. The publisher, Felix ~Iendel so hn, has collected from old families hundreds of hitherto unpublished photographs of historic scenes and place s, with which the book is fullv illustrated. l\1 iss Caroline Mcilvaine~ former librarian of the Chicago Hi storical society, has acted in the capacity of historical adviser. A chapter on old ta\·crns and chop-houses is contributed by \Vallace Rice. Veteran New5paper Man U r. Gilbert was for many years a feature writer for the Chicago Evening Post.
