Ogorek, Cynthia L.

Cynthia L. Ogorek is a public historian based in Calumet City, Illinois, two miles south of the South Shore line. She grew up hearing its whistle in the night and riding it into Chicago for business and pleasure. This is her third book with Arcadia, and it offers another historical glimpse of the bi-state Calumet region at the southern tip of Lake Michigan. Images have been drawn from a wide array of sources, including the author's and other private collections, regional archives, and railroad historical societies.
