New in regional history
"Reading Richard Lindberg’s new book Tales of Forgotten Chicago is like spending the afternoon exploring Chicago’s attic. Nestled in amongst the holiday decorations and old suitcases are people, places, and events that were once the talk of the Windy City, but have since slipped from civic memory."
—Dana Dunham, Chicago Review of Books 
“Edith Rockefeller was the most intelligent, creative, and misunderstood of John D.’s children. In this well-researched and nuanced biography, Ross recounts how Edith’s determination, boldness, and sheer will defied her patriarchal family."
—Clarice Stasz, author, The Vanderbilt Women: Dynasty of Wealth, Glamour, and Tragedy
Illinois State Historical Society Award Winners
2020 Russell P. Strange Book of the Year
Award Winner
"The letters give an insight into every aspect of their daily life. Some are uplifting and full of hope and love, others, disturbing and focused on battles and harsh views. Flotow's book is masterfully arranged and provides a unique view of the Civil War."
—Cinda Ackerman Klickna, Illinois Times
Highly Anticipated Preorders
As seen in Chicago Magazine, Chicago Tribune, and Windy City Reviews
"Patrick T. Reardon tells the full and fascinating story of how Chicago built the ‘L’ and how the ‘L’ built Chicago. Read this book on the ‘L’ and you might miss your stop.”
—Tom McNamee, editorial page editor of the Chicago Sun-Times

Read this before your next trip downtown.”
—James Grossman, executive director, American Historical Association
