Hidden gems from Chicagos past Tales of Forgotten Chicago contains twenty-one fascinating, little-known stories about a great city and its people. Richard C. Lindberg has dug deeply to reveal lost historical events and hidden gems from Chicagos past. Spanning the Civil War through the 1960s, the volume showcases forgotten crimes, punishments, and consequences: poisoned soup that nearly killed three hundred leading citizens, politicians, and business and religious leaders; a woman in showbiz and her street-thug husband whose checkered lives inspired a 1955 James Cagney movie; and the first police woman in Chicago, hired as a result of the senseless killing of a young factory girl in a racially tinged case of the 1880s. Also included are tales of industry and invention, such as Americas first automobile race, the haunting of a wealthy Gilded Age manufacturers mansion, and the identity of the telephones rightful inventor. Chapters on the history of early city landmarks spotlight the fight to save Lakefront Park and how Lucky Charlie Weeghmans north side baseball park became Wrigley Field. Other chapters explore civic, cultural, and political happenings: the great Railroad Fairs of 1948 and 1949; Richard J. Daleys revival of the St. Patricks Day parade; political disrupter Lar America First Daly; and the founding of the Special Olympics in Chicago by Anne Burke and others. Finally, some are just wonderful tales, such asa touching story about the sinking of Chicagos beloved Christmas tree ship. Engrossing and imaginative, this collection opens new windows into the past of the Windy City.
