How a small mistake entering the history ecosystem makes a controversial and complicated topic less complicated. The Confederate monument honoring those who died in a #Chicago prison camp was not endorsed by the U.S. president in 1895. https://patriciamorsehisto...

First newsletter on the new platform (escaping from Substack has not been easy!). Let me know if it seems wonky. Some sidelights on Morgan Shoal and the Lakefront, which was my most recent Herald article.

Today’s walk, brave swimmers jumping from the 33 degree air into the 40 degree Lake. And the trail that runs next to the highway is protected by magic as is the pedestrian tunnel. #Chicago

I was delighted to find out in my wanders today that the telephone operators of 1892 were known as "hello girls" They'd replaced teenage boys, who were apparently argumentative with callers. #Chicago #history https://www.chipublib.org/...

If you like Bach, check out the substack for the organ series at Bond Chapel. Here are links to the concerts and a bit of history about Bond Chapel, the Chicago Theological Seminary, and the organ in Bond now...

She's 24 feet on a 10 foot base in #JacksonPark #Chicago . She's the mini me of the original from the 1893 World's Fair, which was 100 feet tall. #dailypicturetheme #large

Just when I thought I had a good grasp on what was at the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition, I bump into something new. You could pay an extra fee to go see Saint Bernard's straight from Switzerland! #Chicago #1893worldsfair #history #dogs

Arisaema dracontium

I’m excited that we’ll a few pots of Green Dragon at the #HydePark #Chicago #garden fair 9/23, though I’m afraid people won’t like them because the pots will probably just have corms. Green Dragon grows in moist rich woodlands with dappled light. 1/n
