HENRY JUSTIN SMITH, THE NOTED MANAGING EDITOR OF THE CHICAGO DAILY NEWS NEWSPAPER.

First edition, 1st Printing stated.

Many line drawings by E. H. Suydam. including a tissue guarded colored frontispiece. Of special interest is the chapter titled Habitat of a Dark Race page 76-91 which offers compelling observations on the progress of the newly freed slaves and their families who prospered in the urban Chicago and became some of its leaders.
"This book is just what its title suggests: a portrait of modern Chicago. It stresses the city of today rather than of yesterday. It includes properly all the vast "metropolitan area" which is joined to the central city by sentiment if not by government, so that for the first time in any book a reader may obtain a clear and reasonably complete impression of Chicago as a whole."
