Book Description
The first major history of Chicago ever written, A History of Chicago covers the city’s great history over two centuries, from 1673 to 1893. Originally conceived as a centennial history of Chicago, the project became, under the guidance of renowned historian Bessie Louise Pierce, a definitive, three-volume set describing the city’s growth—from its humble frontier beginnings to the horrors of the Great Fire, the construction of some of the world’s first skyscrapers, and the opulence of the 1893 World’s Fair. Pierce and her assistants spent over forty years transforming historical records into an inspiring human story of growth and survival. Rich with anecdotal evidence and interviews with the men and women who made Chicago great, all three volumes will now be available for the first time in years. A History of Chicago will be essential reading for anyone who wants to know this great city and its place in America. “With this rescue of its history from the bright, impressionable newspapermen and from the subscription-volumes, Chicago builds another impressive memorial to its coming of age, the closing of its first ‘century of progress.’”—E. D. Branch, New York Times (1937)

Excerpt from Centennial History of the City of Washington, D. C: With Full Outline of the Natural Advantages, Accounts of the Indian Tribes, Selection of the Site Founding of the City, Pioneer Life, Municipal, Military, Mercantile, Manufacturing, and Transportation Interests, the Press Schools, Churches, Etc., Etc Great History of the United States is sometimes referred to as merely an exhibition of the idiosyncrasies of its author; and if such a criticism can be passed upon the greatest of American historians, how can the least hope to escape, even when writing under the most favorable auspices, which was far from being the case in the preparation of this work? But it is not designed or desired to dwell upon this particular, further than to say that a. Great. Deal of matter of greater or less value was prepared which was necessarily excluded from the work in order to avoid the production of an exceedingly unwieldly volume.

Book Description
In 2008, the University of Pennsylvania received as a gift the contents of the Gotham Book Mart, the legendary New York City bookstore founded by Frances Steloff in 1920. For decades the Gotham Book Mart was, as Steloff prosaically put it, "the headquarters of the avant-garde." To mark the 100th anniversary of the store's founding, this exhibition catalogue explores the shop's role in assembling, publishing, and promoting groundbreaking experimental writers as well as its later years under the ownership of Steloff's hand-chosen successor, Andreas Brown.
