Book excerpt: Maybe there has never been a more comprehensive work on the history of Chicago than the five volumes written by Josiah S. Currey - and possibly there will never be. Without making this work a catalogue or a mere list of dates or distracting the reader and losing his attention, he builds a bridge for every historically interested reader. The history of Windy City is not only particularly interesting to her citizens, but also important for the understanding of the history of the West. This volume is number one out of five and covers the time from the period of discovery to the slavery issues of the town in the 19th century.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Chicago, Its History and Its Builders, Vol. 1: A Century of Marvelous Growth There is perhaps nothing which so clogs and hampers a historical account as an attempt on the part of a writer to mention everything in the chain of events which spreads out like a panorama to his gaze, but which if treated would amount to a mere catalogue, a list of dates, "first things," and much more that tends to distract the reader and exhaust his attention. It is a wise man who can discriminate between the essentials and the merely incidental occurrences, and who can assign the due proportion to each. Better work will be done by making a clear presentation of fewer matters, rather than a diffused account of many. As the French say, "the secret of wearying is to say all," which, if indeed it is in some measure accomplished, results in a compendium of tedious prolixity. "Any one who has investigated any period," says Rhodes, "knows how the same facts are told over and over again, in different ways, by various writers," and among them all one must choose from the mass of verbiage and make condensations. Thucydides, the famous Greek historian, wrote a history of the Peloponnesian war covering a period of twenty-four years. This history is a model of compressed narrative, and in his time there was little or no help to be derived from written documents. "Of the events of the war," wrote Thucydides, "I have not ventured to speak from any chance information, nor according to any notion of my own; I have described nothing but what I either saw myself, or learned from others of whom I made the most careful and particular inquiry. The task was a laborious one, because eye witnesses of the same occurrences gave different accounts of them, as they remembered or were interested in the actions of one side or the other." Comparing Thucydides with Tacitus, Rhodes says, that they are "superior to the historians who have written in our century, because, by long reflection and studious method, they have better digested their materials and compressed their narrative. Unity in narration has been adhered to more rigidly. They stick closer to their subject. They are not allured into the fascinating bypaths of narration, which are so tempting to men who have accumulated a mass of facts, incidents, and opinions." Criticising a historian addicted to giving a multiplicity of details, an eminent writer said that in many portions of his too elaborated history "he describes a large number of events about which no sensible man can in the least care either how they happened, or whether indeed they happened at all or not." We live indeed in an age of newspapers and magazines when not only great events but a vast "number of trivial incidents are now recorded, and this dust of time gets in our eves."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Chicago; Its History and Its Builders, Vol. 4: A Century of Marvelous Growth The business career of Albert H. Thacker, long a South Water street merchant, was crowned with success so that he left to his family a comfortable competence. More than that, he left to them an honored name, for his record was ever char acterized by all that is straightforward and reliable in business. He became a resident of Chicago in 1842. His birth had occurred in South Charleston, Ohio, in 1855, his parents being James and Letitia (gullett) Thacker, of Virginia. His father was a carriage builder and at the time of the Civil war put aside business cares, serving as a surgeon in the army from 1862 until 1861. The family is of English origin and was founded in America by the grandfather of Albert H. Thacker who, on crossing the Atlantic, settled in Virginia. The brother of our subject was a bugle boy in the Civil war. After removing to Chicago, James Thacker engaged in the grocery business for five years and then entered the real-estate business in which connection be controlled many important property transfers. At length he built the old Thacker block, at the corner of Thirty-ninth street and Drexel boulevard. In his later years he retired from active business life.
