The two histories are devoted to a topic which the whole world agrees
to consider, on the whole, the most interesting of all now offered for
its attention, namely, the young giant of the West:--Chicago.
The last named, "The Chicago Massacre of 1812," is here, within these
covers, to speak for itself. The first named, "The Story of Chicago,"
has been published for about a year, meeting a success without parallel
among the books on this subject.
The publishers have received (beside hundreds of favorable reviews) the
following eloquent personal letters, worth many ordinary critiques:
