1892-1895: 1893 Chicago's World Fair by Drew VandeCreek, Ph.D. John Peter Altgeld became Illinois' first foreign-born governor after his election in 1892. Born in Germany but raised in Ohio, Altgeld found his way to Chicago after stops in Missouri. In Chicago he invested in real estate and became rich. He turned his legal practice to the lucrative field of corporation law, then became a judge. In his 1892 campaign as the Democratic candidate for governor, Altgeld supported labor, but remained quiet about the Haymarket affair. After his election however, Altgeld read the trail materials and pardoned the three remaining prisoners in a strongly worded statement that attacked the police and prosecutors. Altgeld's pardon inspired a frenzy of reproach among Republicans, whose newspapers called him a socialist and an anarchist. Altgeld's administration enforced labor legislation more thoroughly than his Republican predecessor's, and hired the reformer Florence Kelley as Chief Factory Inspector for the State of Illinois. Her close attention to working conditions outraged many industrialists, but it also brought issues of worker safety before the public as never before. Altgeld's urban reform efforts took place as the rural uprising against the nation's emerging economic arrangements reached its high water mark. In the 1870s farmers, including many in Illinois, had formed Granges devoted to self-help and political lobbying. In the 1880s many agriculturalists formed Farmer's Alliances, which established cooperative grain elevators and other ventures to free themselves from the power of highly organized businesses. Alliance meetings brought isolated farm families together to commiserate, listen to speakers, and enjoy amusements. By 1890 many state Alliances ran their own slates of political candidates, which won nine seats in the House of Representatives and two in the Senate.

103. History Of Atlanta From the period of settlement through the present, provided by the office of theSecretary of State. http://www.sos.state.ga.us/tours/html/atlanta_history.html

History of Atlanta Atlanta is a young city, even by American standards. New Orleans, Charleston, Cincinnati and Chattanooga were all thriving cities before Atlanta was even a settlement. Atlanta is a bright, brash, aggressive town; tempered by fire, its rough edges smoothed by time and dashing with southern charm. Despite its relative youth, Atlanta has a proud and unique heritage and a past well worth preserving. Over 150 years ago, the land that is now Atlanta belonged to the Creek and Cherokee Indians. The United States was well into the War of 1812 when the first white settlement, Fort Peachtree, was established on the banks of the Chattahoochee River near the Cherokee village of Standing Peachtree. The Creek Nation ceded their lands to the State of Georgia in 1825. The Cherokees lived with their white neighbors until 1835 when the leaders of the Cherokee nation agreed to leave their lands and move west under the Treaty of New Echota. At that time, Georgia officially took possession of Cherokee lands, an act that led to the infamous Trail of Tears. In the fourteen short years between the time Colonel Long drove his marker into the ground and the start of the Civil War, Atlanta grew like the boom towns of the West. Instead of mining, Atlanta struck gold in the rail lines.

To see a recent poster, click here To see information on availability of a notable collection of photographs, click here NEW YORK WORLD'S FAIR 1939-1940 Thinking that almost everything was on the Web, one day I searched for the New York World's Fair of 1939 and 1940, but I didn't find it. [That was in 1995 or 1996, before the several sites dedicated to this topic appeared.] So I made this page, and here it is. Why? Maybe because I have more server storage space than I need at the moment. But there is something more than that to it. Perhaps only those, such as I, who went to THE FAIR as children will understand fully why I took the time to celebrate this symbol that remains bright in a dwindling number of minds. To go to this fair was to have your life changed forever. It was there that I was amazed by a device that measured the thickness of my hair, by a General Motors vision of 1960 (I asked my parents whether I'd still be alive at that distant time in the future), by mighty Railroads on Parade and Railroads at Work, by climbing up to look into the cockpit of a real airplane, by witnessing for the first time something called television; and I was chilled by the sight of a gas mask, as if I realized that here was a sign of what soon would dash or delay many of the hopes that THE FAIR expressed. For me THE FAIR was something of a dream, as well as an actuality that spoke of the future, "the world of tomorrow." It remains a monument to those who dream and who "dare to do their dreams" (as I would discover in the words of

Wells, Frederick Douglass, Irvine Garland Penn, and Ferdinand Barnett. Edited by Robert W. Rydell (Urbana and Chicago: University of Illinois Press, 1999. Pp. xlviii, 81. Illustrations. Cloth, $29.95; Paper $14.95.) Robert W. Rydell as editor of The Reason Why the Colored American Is Not in the World's Columbian Exposition: The Afro-American Contribution to Columbian Literature has helped to rescue from near obscurity this important pamphlet written by African American leaders Ida B. Wells, Frederick Douglass, Irvine Garland Penn, and Ferdinand Barnett, on the eve of the World's Columbian Exposition, also known as the Chicago World's Fair of 1893 and as the White City. Rydell's new introduction provides historical context for the booklet, which is an important source of primary data about late nineteenth century African American and American history.
