Excerpt from The Book of Chicagoans: A Biographical Dictionary of Leading Living Men and Women of the City of Chicago, 1917 The book OF chicagoans was first published in 1905. A second edition was issued in 1911. A third edition has been called for, and the present volume is presented as the best possible response to that demand. This edition contains many names not listed in the earlier issues names hitherto unavoidably overlooked, as well as a large number of names which. Have come into prominence since the previous edition was printed. The work of revision has been painstaking and thorough. Not only have many new names been added, but each of the original sketches has been rewritten in order that the best possible arrangement of the data for easy reference purposes might be secured; and value has been added by the inclusion of the names of many leading women. The names of women were not included in the previous volumes. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
