Chicago History Online Library

http://chicagohistorybooks.wordpress.com/

The Library is a supplement to my main blog, Chicago History: Journal of an Amateur Historian and continues my mission to provide links to websites relevent to Chicago history. The Library will primarily feature digitized non-fiction books on Chicago history but will also feature early Chicago fiction. Each post will feature a book or digital library. In addition, there is a page dedicated to classic Chicago literature available online plus specialty pages focusing on select authors.
