A compelling story about a long forgotten tragedy. Since so much of Chicago's history has been extensively and exhaustively covered and, in the case of such topics as organized crime and politics, virtually beaten to death, this sort of tale has the chance to not only come as a surprise to readers but also as a revelation. These sorts of stories are invaluable in fleshing out the city's rich history and rewarding the reader's discovery. * Chicago Tribune *

Craig Allen Cleve has put together a fascinating account of one of Chicago's greatest disasters--one that is beginning to fade from the public memory.

It will appeal greatly to general readers with an interest in mass transit and Chicago history. --David M. Young, author of Chicago Transit: An Illustrated History <br><br>--David M.
