Hi I'm wondering if any of you remember the name of a book that was mentioned some time ago that was good on the history of Chicago. I wrote the name down, but NOW can't find it. I'd like to read about how families lived in Chicago in the 1860's on I just recently read an article in the Trib Archives about 10 families sharing a privie! And the filthy conditions they lived in. I just never really thought about that! Thanks Linda in Lemont

The two books I like are:  "The Encyclopedia of Chicago" by Editors Reiff, Durkin Keating and Grossman which is also on-line at http://www.encyclopedia.chicagohistory.org/and "Chicago:  A Biography" by Dominic Pacyga.   Kathleen Brennan Mammoser Researching BRENNAN, BRETT,GALLAGHER & KENNEDY in CO MAYO> CHICAGO and BRENNAN in CO SLIGO> CHICAGO HOWARD in CO CORK> HARVARD , IL > CHICAGO MAMMOSER in Schoenenbourg , FRANCE > CHICAGO   http://www.mammoser.com
