Don’t miss this entertaining and informative presentation by author and historian Richard Lindberg, who tells incredible tales of yesteryear Chicago in words and pictures. He has written 14 books., all dealing with aspects of Chicago city history, politics, sports, ethnicity and urban crime. While Chicago's glorious past is already well-known and well-documented, Chicago By Gaslight presents the "other" Chicago—a time and place of gamblers, crooked politicians, serial killers, anarchists and gangsters—and has long been a fascinating subject for anyone interested in the reality of how Chicago became the metropolis that it is today.
