Chicago History: The Journal of an Amateur Historian

Chicago History: The Journal of an Amateur Historian

http://chicagohistory-sharonwilliams.blogspot…

As an amateur historian I find the people and events of 19th and early 20th century Chicago fascinating. The history of this city is an amazing saga. Only 133 years separate the ash heap of the Great Fire in 1871 from the city's designation as one of the world's best skylines. My blog is my online journal of interesting stories, relavent links and discussion of this complex city.

Disturbingly, I read 'delete the site' in one of your posts. If there was a law against deleting posts I would invoke it, and hold it against you. Chicago History is a valuable resource and it is not the number of visitors to a site but the quality of the visitors that is important. Each of us takes a piece of your knowledge with us when we leave and that is passed on in some way through our own work and writing and interests. It is not the size of a ripple in the water, it is the distance the ripple travels that is important. Remember this next time your finger hovers over the delete button.

For a very new blog you have obviously taken the time and care to lay out a good looking blog. I like your writing style too. However I probably will not visit very often since I am not very interested in Chicago. I do enjoy history though so I will be back for sure. Have a great day!

Excellent writing with detail and passion. My brother will love this blog - went to the art institute there. He misses living there and I miss my visits! Had one of the best burritos ever in wicker park.

Since I've no particular interest in Chicago or its history I probably won't be a regular visitor, but you have a very nicely laid out blog with really good writing. Best of luck to you.
