Written by two journalists. [Jewel V25]. "Fortunately the basin, which is formed on the lake shore ... afforded a convenient dumping place for the immense quantities of rubbish taken from the ruins. Is some such place were not afforded, the expense attending the removal would be increased incalculably. This rubbish, though worthless in itself, is of great value to the city, since it is making land for the city at the rate of $1000 a day - p.338." 2 folding maps, 44 woodcuts. Includes a poem, "Chicago" by John Greenleaf Whittier: "Men said at vespers: All is well ! / In one wild night the city fell".
