In this book, Sam Mitrani cogently examines the making of the police department in Chicago, which by the late 1800s had grown into the most violent, turbulent city in America. Chicago was roiling with political and economic conflict, much of it rooted in class tensions, and the city's lawmakers and business elite fostered the growth of a professional municipal police force to protect capitalism, its assets, and their own positions in society. Together with city policymakers, the business elite united behind an ideology of order that would simultaneously justify the police force's existence...

Missouri Genealogical Records and Abstracts, Volume 3
ISBN: 9781556134470 / Angielski / Miękka / 278 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This is the third volume in the series of Missouri genealogical records and abstracts compiled by the author as a result of her search for her French ancestor, Achille Godin (or Gaudin). The records in this volume cover the period from 1787 to 1839, which is a frustrating period for the Missouri/Arkansas researcher, because the area changed hands so frequently. The French claimed the region in the name of King Louis XIV, then gave "Louisiana" to the Spanish, who returned the land to the French forty-one years later; shortly thereafter, the French sold it to the United States in the Louisiana...

Throughout World War II, Detroit's automobile manufacturers accounted for one-fifth of the dollar value of the nation's total war production, and this amazing output from "the arsenal of democracy" directly contributed to the allied victory.

Missouri Birth and Death Records, Volume 4
ISBN: 9780788418549 / Angielski / Miękka / 248 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Registration of births and deaths in the state of Missouri began as early as 1863. From 1883 to 1893 county clerks were required by law to register all births and deaths in the state. Although registration was required, the law was not enforced resulting in many counties recording very few births and deaths for this period. Statewide compliance with the law would not be achieved until 1911. Alternate sources such as church, military, cemetery and probate records, tax lists, and newspapers are therefore the researcher's main tools for establishing Missouri birth and death dates. This volume is...

While browsing the stacks of the Regenstein Library at the University of Chicago some years ago, noted historian Neil Harris made a surprising discovery: a group of nine plainly bound volumes whose unassuming spines bore the name the" Chicagoan." Pulling one down and leafing through its pages, Harris was startled to find it brimming with striking covers, fanciful art, witty cartoons, profiles of local personalities, and a whole range of incisive articles. He quickly realized that he had stumbled upon a Chicago counterpart to the "New Yorker" that mysteriously had slipped through the cracks of...
