One Hundred Years of Land Values in Chicago: The Relationship of the Growth of Chicago to the Rise in Its Land Values, 1830-1933 (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from One Hundred Years of Land Values in Chicago: The Relationship of the Growth of Chicago to the Rise in Its Land Values, 1830-1933

In the annals of the past, many whose names are unknown to me have furnished invaluable material. The real estate editors of the Chicago Tribune, who weekly wrote searching comments upon real estate transactions in the Sunday papers Since 1870, the editors of the Economist, the editors of the Real Estate and Building Journal have written many lines which reappear in these pages. Mr. Frank Chandler wrote much on early land-value history, and gave me access to his private files before his death.

Mr. Everett Chamberlin, in his book, Chicago and Its Suburbs and Mr. Mark L. Putney, in his Land Values and Historical Notes of Chicago (1890, furnished great assistance. The work of Captain A. T. Andreas on the History of Chicago (1886) proved very useful.
