Contact seller5-star sellerHardcover. Condition: Fair. Presumed First Edition, First printing. [2], viii, 9-528, [2] pages Frontis Illustration. Folding map. Illustrations are from "Photographic Views taken on the Spot." Appendix A, B, C, and D. Names and ink notations on first and second feps. Page foxing noted. Cover has wear, soiling, and spine torn an…d reglued. Elias Colbert was a United States journalist, historian and astronomer. The two authors were associated with The Chicago Tribune at time of publication. From a contemporary review: This work is just issued from the press. It has numerous illustrations,-the latter including a first-class map of the city, which not only shows the burnt district, but also the parks and boulevards. The work comprises a well-written history of Chicago before the fire, with full statistics of growth in the commercial development of the city., and her manufacturing progress; a full description of the city as it existed before the fire; a graphic and ample account of the fire, with its attendant and succeeding incidents; a very carefully-prepared statement of losses; with an appendix, giving sketches of the great fires in history, the documentary history of the fire, contemporary opinions concerning the event, the relief work, etc. The well-known ability of the authors had led the public to expect from their hands a standard work on the subject, and the readers of the book will not be disappointed. Chaplin & Gulick (illustrator).
