2 comments about Streets of the Near West Side (2nd Edition).

1. Streets of the Near West Side is supposed to be a Chicago history book about one small neighborhood, but it's much more. It's about who the area's streets are named after, so it tells the stories of Presidents, Indians, Civil and Revolutionary War battles, and a lot of other quirky, odd, and fun information that you didn't learn about in high school history. At 117 pages, it can be read in one sitting. You can't put it down! You don't have to be a Chicagoan--just a lover of biography and history



2. I loved reading this book. It is an enjoyable, clearly-written introduction to a neighborhood that was "home" to thousands of Chicago's immigrants, including many of my ancestors. "Streets of the Near West Side" goes beyond those facts provided by such genealogical sources as Censuses. It can help family researchers develop a better understanding of their ancestor's "new neighborhood" in America. So, open the book, along with a map of Chicago, and learn how this neighborhood's history intertwines with the names of its streets.

1. I am the author's Granddaughter so I may be a little partial but I think that the photography is wonderfull and the literature is the best collection I have ever read. I definately would give it a five star rating even if I was not his granddaughter.

1. These folks at Compass American have put together a great, readable book about a diverse state. Kudos to contributing writer Dan Stivers for his offbeat, often hilarious introduction to my eclectic hometown of Ann Arbor (ex: WEATHER: Winters can live up to Michigan's former motto of Water Winter Wonderland, or be marked by week after week of single-digits and howling winds--a sunless horror, devoid of joy or hope.). The best book on Michigan I've yet to read, and I've read a few -

1 comments about Michigan Facts, Food & Fun!.

1. This small book about Michigan makes the reader want to get out of their chair and do something. It may be to go to some festival or celebration being held around the state. It may be to see some significant location of historical or natural wonder around the state. It more than likely may make the reader go to the kitchen and make something to eat.
   Although the information doesn't follow any geographic or chronologicl order, you never feel lost wandering around the state of Michigan though all the seasons of the year. It is a pleasant journey of exactly what the tile says, "Michigan Facts, Food and Fun". J. Bosley shows real passion for the people, traditions, land, and food of Michigan and brings there sights, sounds, smells, and tastes to life.
   When I am away from the state, it keeps me home. A great way to view the state of Michigan.
