| Description: |
Exploring the imaginative dimensions of three events (the Great Chicago Fire, the Haymarket bomb and the making and unmaking of the model town of Pullman), this book traces the evolution of beliefs that increasingly linked city, disorder and social reality in the minds of Americans. |
| Synopsis: |
The Great Chicago Fire of 1871, the Haymarket bombing of 1886, and the making and unmaking of the model town of Pullman - these remarkable events in what many considered the quintessential American city forced people across the country to confront the disorder that seemed inevitably to accompany urban growth and social change. In this book, Carl Smith explores the imaginative dimensions of these events as he traces the evolution of beliefs that increasingly linked city, disorder and social reality in the minds of Americans. |
