Richard C. Lindberg - Author of Tales of Forgotten Chicago - a podcast by John Pollitz

In Tales of Forgotten Chicago, Richard Lindberg shines light on the many small folklore and big stories that make up the rich tapestry that is Chicago. In every engaging chapter gives new insight. We learn of the connection between SIU and the beginnings of the International Special Olympics, the time that John Wilkes Booth walked the stage of McVicker's Theater in downtown Chicago, the day the Beatles came to town, and best of all, who really was milking that famous cow when the Chicago fire began.

Tales of Forgotten Chicago is available at your local bookstore and at Tales of Forgotten Chicago | siupress.siu.edu.
