The History of Chicago
It started as a swampy river crossing named after wild onions -- and became the hog butcher for the world, then burned to the ground, then rebuilt itself into the birthplace of the skyscraper. Meet Jean Baptiste Point du Sable, the Black Haitian-French trader who founded the city, and find out how a wild onion patch became one of the great cities on Earth.
