In this documentary history, Harmut Keil and John Jentz trace the impact of German workers on Chicago---and of Chicago on them---in a period of rapid growth and industrialization between the Civil War and World War I. Voices of Chicago's German workers come to life in this collection of letters, newspaper articles, poetry, and fiction, most of which appear in English for the first time.
