Hardcover / Hardback. Condition: Very Good. No Jacket. First edition. Hardback. 1st US edn. Part I by Lloyd Lewis with Introduction and Part II by Henry Justin Smith. In this book the authors have sketched, incompletely but with a sincere effort to describe typical events, the story of Chicago's century as well as what led to it. Chicago, to some people meant brute force, ruthlessness and menace. Its "blood-and-thunder" reputation was world-wide, outstripping again and again the fame of its herculean business enterprises. The city has been studied, loved, hated, praised and denounced out of all proportion to its statistical position among the cities of the world. From the early beginnings c. 1690s with Father Pierre Pinet to the Gangland days of 1929. With Sources and Index. 508pp. lge. 8vo. h/back. With a personal b/plate to fpd, lightly foxed, browned edges and eps, sl. sunned sp. + several 'ring' mks. to lower cover. Red cloth with silver lettering. Vg. A fairly heavy book which will require additional postage if shipped overseas.

Hard Cover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: No Dust Jacket. 1st Edition. Fifth Printing. Publisher's full burgundy cloth, silver lettering on spine and cover, top edge red, fore-edge deckle. Among the best written histories of Chicago, by two legendary journalist-historians, who knew her intimately. The book became famous for its exciting narrative of the city's adventurous history. Lloyd Downs Lewis (1891-1949) was a journalist, historian, and major figure in a remarkable world of arts and letters that flourished in Chicago following World War I. After 12 years as publicist for Balaban and Katz, in 1930 he joined the Chicago Daily News as drama critic, becoming subsequently sports editor, managing editor, and a popular columnist. A gifted raconteur rich in friendships with the great literary, artistic, political, and sports figures of his time, Lewis was an ardent Chicagoan and Midwesterner with a voracious interest in the Civil War. His published work included "Chicago: The History of Its Reputation" (1929, with Henry Justin Smith); Jayhawkers, a three-act Broadway play coauthored with Sinclair Lewis (1935); and highly regarded biographies of Generals Sherman and Grant. Chicago's Newberry Library was his second home; drawing on his personal contacts, he established the library's superb collection of modern (chiefly Midwestern) manuscripts. Henry Justin Smith (1875-1936) was managing editor of the Chicago Daily News. In 1934, he published a collection of three essays entitled "It's The Way It's Written." The essays were suggested reading for any course in journalism, or as an authentic picture of the newspaper world for readers in general. .
