The Author Series is back and coming to you from a new location at the Lisle Library. This is a free event series where authors will present the history and culture of our region. Each session features a discussion of their books exploring the historical context and research that shaped their narratives.
AUTHENTIC CHICAGO
By John R. Schmidt
The history most Chicagoans do not know. It’s 58 tales of forgotten people, places, and events that give the city (and its‘ burbs) a distinctive flavor – the REAL Chicago Way. John R. Schmidt earned his PhD at the University of Chicago. He was a teacher for over 30 years in the Chicago Public Schools. He has written over 400 articles and 7 books.
