Fight for a City

""Fight For A City: The Story Of The Union League Club Of Chicago And Its Times, 1880-1955"" by Grant Bruce is a comprehensive historical account of the Union League Club of Chicago, a private social club that played a significant role in the development of Chicago's business, political, and cultural scenes during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The book chronicles the club's founding in 1879, its early years as a bastion of Republican politics, and its evolution into a leading voice for progressive reform in the city. The author also provides an in-depth analysis of the club's members, including prominent business leaders, politicians, and cultural figures, and their impact on the city's growth and development. The book is a fascinating look at the intersection of politics, business, and social life in Chicago during a critical period of its history.""This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
