Title
Chicagoland: City and Suburbs in the Railroad Age (Historical Studies of Urban America),New
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
Formed by images of crowded city streets and towering skyscrapers, our understanding of nineteenthcentury Chicago completely neglects the fact that the city itself was only the center of a web of neighborhoods, farm communities, and industrial townsmany connected to the city by the railroad. Farmers used trains to transport produce into the city daily; businessmen rode the rails home to their commuter suburbs; and families took vacations mere miles outside the Loop.Historian and coeditor of the acclaimed Encyclopedia of Chicago, Ann Durkin Keating resurrects for us here the bustling network that defined greater Chicagoland. Taking a new approach to the history of the city, Keating shifts the focus to the landscapes and built environments of the metropolitan region. Organized by four categories of settlementsfarm centers, industrial towns, commuter suburbs, and recreational and institutional centersthat framed the city, Chicagoland offers the collective history of 230 neighborhoods and communities, the people who built them, and the structures they left behind that still stand today.Keating reanimates nineteenthcentury Chicagoland with more than a hundred photographs and maps; we find here the taverns, depots, and way stations that were the hubs of the region's vibrant, mobile life. Keating also includes an appendix of driving tours so readers can see this history for themselves. Chicagoland takes us into the buildings and sites that are still part of our landscape and repopulates them with the stories and characters behind their creation. The result is a wideangle historical view of Chicago, an entirely new way to understand the region.
