Drawing on his book Tales of Forgotten Chicago, Rich Lindberg revisits overlooked and memorable episodes from the city’s past, from the Gilded Age through the mid-20th century. He shares stories such as America’s first automobile race in 1895, the little-known builder of Wrigley Field, Charlie Weeghman, and a shocking 1916 poisoning attempt at the University Club. Richard uncovers surprising events and colorful figures that help define Chicago’s rich history.
