- A great book about the south side of Chicago. The author combines the stories of the development of the Chicago World's Fair led by Daniel Burnham and an evil guy who murdered many people. A strange combination but it works well.
The Chicago World's Fair of 1893 and its amazing 'White City' was one of the wonders of the world. This is the incredible story of its realization, and of the two men whose fates it linked: one was an architect, the other a serial killer.What people are saying - Write a review
