True Tales from the Windy City's PastFrom the building of the first permanent settlement on the site of present-day Chicago in 1779 to Oprah Winfrey's television debut in1984, It Happened in Chicago tells the stories of intriguing people and events from the history of the Windy City. Find out how the 1893 Chicago World's Fair turned out to be a glorious emblem of late-nineteenth-century American progress, despite predictions by some New Yorkers that it would be little more than a "cattle show." Read all about America's first automobile race, which set out from Chicago in 1895. Learn how the paths of two very different Hoffmans--federal judge Julius Jennings Hoffman and Yippie leader Abbie Hoffman--collided in 1969. And discover that there really isn't much that didn't happen in Chicago!
