NEWTON LULL, ISK.U. | NOTARY Prm.ir COPYRIGHT BY T. F. BO HAN PREFACE TKK DIRECTORY OF CHICAGO, now presented to the public, may be regarded as an experiment. It must be decided by those for whose use and benefit it has been prepared, whether it is required, and can be sus- tained. The sudden rise, and unexampled prosperity of Chicago, have created a curiosity in regard to its early history, and the incidents connected with its rise and progess, which considerations of interest, if nothing else, impel us to embrace every suitable opportunity to gratify. It is believed, that heretofore the sources of information have been altogether inadequate lo accomplish this purpose. While the most strenuous exertions have been made, in other places, by misrepresentation and downright falsehood, in regard to our circumstances and condition, to induce emigration to stop short or to pass by us, and to divert capital and enterprise into other and foreign channels; very little or nothing has been done on our part,' to remedy the evil, and disabuse the public mind abroad, of the false impres- sions thus engendered. Relying upon the reality which the experience of every day presents to us, of our condition upon what we know ourselves, of the never failing sources of our prosperity, we have been comparatively indifferent in regard to the opinion of others, and blind to the effect of that opinion upon our own interest. The ignorance prevailing at the East, even in those cities with which we have the most intimate commercial relations, in regard to the size, business, and resoures of Chicago, has been a matter of surprise to all whose attention has been called to the fact. The present is a most important juncture in our affairs. Our prospects are brightening our harbor is nearly completed the work on our canal shortly to be resumed the credit of our state daily improving and the financesof our City in a most flourishing condition. Our citizens will, we hope, for- ever be exempt from the burdens of heavy taxation. Never were the in- ducements to emigrate and settle here, greater than at the present time. It has been thought, that a Directory, containing, in addition to the matter usually introduced into such works, a brief historical and statistical account of the City, may, independent of the benefit which our citizens will derive from it, in the transaction of business, be made to subserve the additional purpose of conveying to the public abroad a correct impression of the City, in almost every particular. The utmost difficulty has been experienced, while preparing the histo- rical and statistical parts of the work, in procuring factsand statements from authentic sources. Consequently, those parts are less full and perfect than they were originally 'intended to be much less so than the author would have made them. Errors and omissions will doubtless be discovered through- out the work no apologies, however, will be necessary to those who are IV PREFACE. acquainted with the difficulties in the way of preparing the first Directory for a new city. Such persons would probably be more surprised to find it in every respect perfect. Nothing has intentionally been left out, that could add either to the interest or value of the work. - The greatest exertion has been made, to give the nnmes of Germans and other Old Country people, correctly. Notwithstanding this, mistakes will doubtless be discovered in the orthography of these names, owing to the fact, that in.'iny are unable to spell their own names, in Fnglish. It is hoped, however, that instances of this kind will not be found to be nume- rous. In subsequent editions of the work the author hopes to be able to avoid them altogether, and aLsd'to give the names of such persons as are not included in this volume. " ^_ Chicago, it is to be remembere'd.is yet in its infancy, and subject to fluc- tuation in its population and biiviness/more so than larger and older cities. So far as this is true, a Directory will be of less utility. It is believed, however, that this inconvenience is diminishing, and will be lees felt here- after. Our cilizens art; becoming sensible of the importance of fixed habi- tations, and places of busincs- and will speedily take measures to secure to themselves the benefits and advantages to be derived therefrom. This, to a considerable extent, has been effected the present season. Nearly three-fourths of our populaiion will hereafter, at least for many years, be permanently located. Hoping that the book may be made in many ways to subserve a useful purpose, and prove the means of advancing, to some extent, the interest of our young but flourishing City, it is most respectfully submitted to the public. Our citizens have always been characterised for their liberality and public spirit. They will not, in this instance, forfeit their claims to this distinction, but will generously, and cheerfully lend their aid and co-operation, to sustain an undertaking, designed to promote and advance the interests of the whole. To those gentlemen who have encouraged the work, both as subscribers and advertisers, and those who have afforded information, and contributed their advice in furtherance of the design of the publication, the author would, in conclusion, tender his most sincere thanks. CHICAGO, December 1, 1843. DESCRIPTION AND HISTORICAL SKETCH CHICAGO, Cook County, Illinois, is situated on the South- western shore of Lake Michigan, at the head of Lake navigation, in lat. 41 deg., 45 sec., North, and* long. 10 deg., 45 sec. West. The site of the City occupies a level prairie, on both sides of the majn stream, and the North and South Branches of Chicago River, and covers an area of about three and a half miles in length. North arid South, and two and a half in breadth, East and West, about a mile and a half square of which is already regularly built upon, and the streets opened and graded. The streets are regularly laid out, pa- rallel ami at risiht angles to the Lake, and are wide and spacious. There are several extejisive blocks of brick buildings, principally .occupied as business houses and public offices, three and a half and four stories in height. The dwellings are principally of wood, m:\ny of them, however, very fine specimens of correct architecture. The portion of the City extending several miles along the shore of the Lake, is sandy, and consequently at all seasons, dry. The por- tion removed from the Lake partakes of the character of all level prairie, being in the spring and fall wet and muddy. The site of the City being a plain, does not afford, either from the Lake or the sur- rounding country, a very interesting field of vision. Chicago River .and its branches, which run through the heart of the City, and ad- mit at nil seasons, vessels of every class navigating the Lake, some distance into the interior, afford peculiar facilities for a harbor, and give to Chicago advantages, in a commercial point of view, unsur- .pnssed by any City in the West. The Illinois and Michigan CanaU .which is shortly to be completed, will add greatly to the natural nd- vantages of Chicago, making it a principal point, and necessarily a place of transhipment on the great Northern route connecting the Atlantic States with the valley of the Mississippi. The City is bounded on the South and West by a prairie, varying from ten to twelve mijer in width, some portion of which is high, and of a very superior Duality. It is surrounded in every direction, by a country the most productive in the world, already brought into a state of successful cultivation, and sending to its market annually, a vast amount of produce of every description for sale, exchange for goods, or shipment, r.s the case may be. The climate is healthy and salu- brious, as much so as any in the West. In 1837, Chicago became 1 DESCRIPTION AND an incorporated City, the act of the legislature conferring its charter being granted and approved March 4th of that year. The City is divided info six Wards. The first and second "Wards, divided' by Clark Street, are bounded by the South Branch, Chicago River, and the Lake the first Ward lying East, and the second West of Clark Street. The third and fourth Wards, divided by Randolph > v are situated on the West side of the North and South Branch*'*; the third South, and the fourth North of Randolph Street. The fifth and sfxlh Wards', divided by Clark Street, are bounded by the North Branch, Chicago River, and the Lake the fifth being West, and the sixth East of Clark Street. The government of the City is vested in a Common Council, composed of the Mayor and twelve Aldermen, two for each ward, all chosen annually. The Common Council, in addition to their other powers and duties, are constitu- ted, by virtue of their office, Commissioners of Common Schools, with power to levy and collect taxes for their support, and to exer- "cise a general supervision over matters pertaining to then). In 1832, and the beginning of 1833, Chicago had about 100 inhabitants and five or six log houses, exclusive of the Fort and its appurte- nances. In 1840, the population had increased to 4. Q 53. The pre- sent population exceeds 75SO, and mr>y be said at this time to amount to 8000. The period of the greatest prosperity of Chicago, was from 1333 to 1837. The revul>ions and reverse's of '3G-7, ereatly ictarded its growth. It continued, however, though more gradually, to increase in business and resources until 1^10-1. from which lime business received a new impulse, and it is now enjoying a degree of prosperity equal to any former period of Hs history. . What the destiny of Chicago is to be, the future cnn alone deter- mine. Judging by the past, it seems difficult to assign a limit to its advancement. It presents, undoubtedly, one of the most remark - .able instances of sudden rise to commercial importance, to be found in our age. So rapid, indeed, has been its growth with such gigantic strides has it moved onward in its career, that little space is left to mark and calculate the successive stages of its progress. We behold it, from a distant arid isolated colony, inhabited only by some five or six families clinging to a lone and solirnry military post for protection, and dependent for subsistence upon tJae uncer- tain arrival of some chance vessel from Mackinaw, in the short spa^ce of eight or ten years, become a mighty City, teeming with a busy and enterprising population, the centre of a widely extended and flourishing commerce. To those who have been here from the be- ginning, and there are many among us, the change must be- strik- ing ^-the contrast between what is, and what was great indeed. History, in this instance, has assumed the air of ronnnce. Truly has a change come over the spirit of our dream. It seems diffi- cult to reconcile to the mind, that the spot now covered wirh stately blocKVof buildings, and alive in ev^ry direction with a busy and eager multitude, actively and profitably employed in the numerous departments of our growing commerce, was, so recently, a low and marshy plain, of which trfe wild beasts of the prairies were almost the solitary tenants; that but yesterday, comparatively, the wild .Indian held here his council-fire, and roamed abroad unmolest- ed in the enjoyment of his native freedom. A country so recent as this cannot be pre'sumed to afford very HISTORICAL SKETCH. 7 abundant materials for history. The incidents, however, connected with the rise and progress of the City the causes which first gave it an impulse and the works of public and domestic improvement, upon which its future prosperity depend, together with such events as transpired upon the spot, at an early day, may, perhaps, furnish a narrative not altogether uninteresting, and no^inconsistent with our present purpose. For a western settlement, Chicago can claim no inconsiderable degree of antiquity. In regard to its earlier history, however, very little can be affirmed with any degree of certainty. The original proprietors and first inhabitants of the region, were, of course, the aborigines. The description of the first appearance of the vicinity, by some of its earliest explorers, leads to the belief, that they were here from a very early period ; that this was, then, and from time immemorial had been, the site of an Indian village; Major Long, among others, mentions the number and apparent an- tiquity of the trails centring here, as evidence of the truth of this position. It is to be regretted that so little can be ascertained with certainty, of the lives and fortunes of the various tribes which, at different times, flourished on the spot. The melancholy truth, that they have passed away from their ancient dwelling-places, consti- tutes about all we know of them. Those wild races of primitive men have been swept away by the onward march of civilization. Their rude wigwams and bark canoes have given place to the princely dwellings and the stately ships of another and a different class of beings. Chieft.iin and warrior are gone. It is only occa- sionally that a '.miserable remnant find their way back from their new homes in the more distant west, to wi.tuess the transformation which is going on in this land of their forefathers. Their visits are becomiug less and less frequent. Each year witnesses so many chances, that soon they will cease to recognise, in the scene, any semblance to Us former self. All .will soon be changed save only the beating of the waves on the shore of the lake over which man can exercise no control. The Illinois, the Shawnees, and the Pota- watamies will be no more. They may survive for a time beyond tii^ father of waters, or on the shores of the Pacific but fate seems to have decreed, that ultimately the whole race are to become ex- tinct. The French wore the original discoverers and settlers of the West. As early as the latter part of the sixteenth century, while the Eng- lish Colonies wore yet clinging to the shores of the Atlantic, almost two hundred years ago, the.ir voyages and expeditions to this region commenced. In a few years they discovered, and to some extent, settled the whole vast region from Canada to the Gulf of Mexico, a distance of more than 3000 miles. Their undertaking- at that early dny, was one of no little difficulty and dnugcr. If was, nevertheless, commenced with a spirit, :nd carried on wbh a degree of persever- ance and sagacity, unexampled in the histgry cf adventure. The limits of the present sketch will not permit us to give the details of these expeditions. It would be. unpardonable, however, to pass over in silence the exploits of those brave and self-devoted men, through whose exertions the resources and capabilities of the West were first made known. It is to be feared that they have failed to receive, at the hands cf posterity, the reward to which their achieve- ments entitle them ; that, while we have been lavish of praise upon 8 DESCRIPTION AND the discoverers of other portions of our country, we have failed to pay suitable tribute to the memory of these first pioneers in the region we inhabit these pilgrim fathers of the West. If, to pene- trate thousands of miles into the heart of a continent, bidding adieu for months to the comforts of home, braving hunger and thirst, and the savage, can be said to command our admiration and gratitude, then these m'en have distinguished claims upon us who are now reaping the fruits of all their toils and sufferings. The earliest of these expeditions, as well as the most distinguished, were those of Marquette and La Salle. The former occurred in the year 1673, and resulted in the discovery of the Mississippi, the original object and design of the expedition. To this expedition, is probably to be ascribed the honor of paying the first visit to Chicago, it being the prevailing opinion that it passed through here on its return to Canada, ascending the Illinois River and crossing to Michigan. Perrot, by some writers, is believed to have been here a few years earlier. The story of Marquette, who voluntarily remained among the Illinois Indians, and found at last a solitary grave on the eastern shore of Michigan, at the mouth of a river bearing his name, is familiar to all. With the expedition of La Salle, in 1680, Chicago cannot be so clearly identified. This expedition, however, was productive of more important consequences to the West, generally, than the pre- ceding one. The Mississippi was navigated to its mouth; forts at favorable points, erected; the shores of the great Lakes thoroughly explored ; and permanent settlements, at several points, commenced. The expeditions which succeeded those of Marquette and La S.illr, were of minor importance, being principally designed to sustain the colonies already planted, and to prosecute the traffic which had previously been entered into with the natives. Although no posi- tive testimony exists on the subject, it is highly probable that Chi- cago was frequently visited by the French, during their passages to and from the West. Having once been here, they must ever after have appreciated the advantages of the situation, both in a com- mercial and military point of view. Their sagacity in these matters seldom failed them. In their magnificent scheme of a chain of mili- tary posts, connecting Canada and the Gulf of Mexico, Chicago, doubtless, formed an important link, being at the head of the Lakes, an.I affording so many f icilities to attain the interior. The French Colonies in the West, sustained by emigration, con- tinued from the first to prosper and flourish. Undcr-lhe general name of Louisiana, which they' assumed at a later perio4,.ihcy wore tnade the frequent subject of grants from the crown, to Individuate and companies. About 1717, they are found the property of tho celebrated Mississippi Company, which, at the time, gave rise to much speculation throughout Europe. 'At the close of the Frencli and Indian War, Louisiana was transferred, by treaty, to the Eng- lish. During the Revolution, the Territory comprising the present State of Illinois, become, by conquest, the property of Virginia, by which State it was erected into'a County, under the name of the County of Illinois. Virginia ceded it to the General Government at the time of the cession of Western lands, by the Eastern States. In 1800, the pre- sent State of Illinois became a part of Indiana Territory, having a HISTORICAL SKETCH. 9 population of about 3000. In 1309, it became a Territory by itself, with a population of 12,282, and in 1318, was admitted into the Union. On the third day of August, 1795, at the treaty held by General Wayne, with the Pottawatamies and other tribes at Greenville, the title to six miles square of territory, at the mouth of Chikajo River, as it is expressed in the treaty, was obtained^ by the United Stafes. From the language of this treaty, it appears that a fort had formerly stood on the land thus ceded, which renders it pretty certain, that the French, who alone could have required anything of the sort, had made a settlement here, many years before, in 1804, Fort Chicago was built on the site of the present Fort. About the same time, the American Fur Company, having been organised shortly before, established a trading station, under the protection of the Garrison. The little colony thus planted here, some forty years ago, for military and trading purposes, may- be regarded as the first at- tempt to effect a permanent settlement of Chicago. The regular and monotonous lie led by this little community, for the first eight years, afforded few incidents worthy of particular notice. In 1812, how- ever, the war broke out with England, the ^consequences of which were peculiarly disastrous to all the Western settlements, exposed as they were, especially those in Illinois, to the hostility of neigh- boring tribes of Indians. The causes which conspired to render the Indians hostile at this time, are generally well understood, and may be traced to the machinations of Tecumseh, and other English emis- saries, whos^ influence extended through all the tribes, being felt as far as the remote regions of Lake Superior. Chicago being then an extreme frontier post in this direction, and the country in every direction around it, full of Indians, with a force inadequate to its defence, was considered so much endangered as to require its evacu- ation. This being resolved upon at Detroit, Capt. Heald, the officer in command here at the time, received an order to abandon the Fort, and proceed with the troops to Fort Wayne. This evacuation, on account of the fatal consequences which foflowed it, and the fact, that some of our present citizens were themselves here, and had friends here at the time, has always been regarded with interest, ami may be considered a memorable event in the annals of Chicago. The transaction may, therefore, not inappropriately be given some^ what in detail, in this connection. Beside the Garrison, there were several families residing here at the time. Mr. John Kinzie, father of John H. Kinzie, Esq., present Register of the Land Office in this City, occupied a house on the North side of the River, a little East of the present site of the Lake House. The evacuation took place on the 15th of August, six days after the reception of the order from Gen. Hull, and the day before the disgraceful surrender of Detroit, by tryit officer, and not after, as some writers have erroneous-ly re- presented it. In the mean time, a larger body of Indians, mostly of the Potawatamie nation, had assembled in the vicinity of the Fort. This has generally been represented as a voluntary movement on the part of the Indians but the most correct ^opinion appears to be, that Capt. Heald collected them himself, requiring of them an escort for the troops, and promising to give them the factory stores, a conside- rable quantity of which, were on hand at the time. Whether this be the fact, or not, some understanding of the kind undoubtedly 10 DESCRIPTION AND existed on the part of the Indians, and the non-fulfilment of the agreement, by Capt. Heald, according to their expectations, may have occasioned the line of conduct which they subsequently adopted, which proved fatal to the lives of 55 of the party, and had well nigh brought about the destruction of the whole. The stores on hand were composed in part of a quantity of liquor,- and some arms and amunition. These it was deemed imprudent to give the Indians and they were destroyed, a part being thrown into the River, and the residue deposited in a well within the Fort. One of the arms thus disposed of, a brass piece, was found a few years since, by some people employed in dredging the River another, it is said. remains there to this day. The stores not destroyed were distribu- ted to the Indians. Under these circumstances, about nine o'clock, on the morning of the 15th of August, the party, composed of 54 regulars, 12 militia, and several families, amounting in all to about 70 persons, left the Fort, under the escort of Capt. Wells, and about 30 Miami Indians. Their route lay along the beach of the Lak-e, between the waier on the left, and a succession of sand hills on the right. They had proceeded about a mile and a half from the Fort, and had attained a point a short distance beyond the present resi- dence of Mr. II. B. Clarke, and were advancing, unconscious of dan- ger, when Capt. Wells, who it appears, had strayed for some pur- pose, some distance from- the mam body, discovered the Indians in ambush behind the sand hills. At the same time, another party was seen interposing in the rear, between them and the Fort, which they had just left. The 'alarm was immediately given the dead march struck up, and the troops marched directly up the bank, upon the Indians. The action did not commence, as has generally been represented, by firing, on the part of the Indians. After firing one round, the troops charged, and succeeded in dispersing the Indians in front. But the disparity of numbers was too great. The most determined bravery was displayed by the troops, but it could avail little against the superior force opposed to them, protected by the sand hills behind which it had entrenched itself. In 15 minutes, nearly the whole party were killed or wounded, and all the baggage in the possession of the enemy. Capt. Heald drew off his men, into the open prairie, and took possession of a slight elevation, out of reach of the bank, and every other cover. The Indians, after some consukation, made signs for Capt. Heald to approach them. He was met by a Potawatamie Chief, called Blackbird, who requested him to surrender, promising to spare the lives of the whole party, in case of compliance. After some parley, the terms were agreed to, and the arms delivered up. The survivors were marched back to the Indian encampment, near the Fort, about the spot where State Street now opens to'the River, and where the present Market is located. Here, some of the prisoners, those who had been wounded, were murdered in the most shocking manner, by the squaws, who appeared to take great delieht in exercising their knives and besmearing them in the blood of their unfortunate victims. The small number surviving, were distributed, according to the cus- tom of the savages, among the different members of the tribe. Mr. Kinzie. Sen., however, whose family, from the first, had been pro- tected by some friendly chiefs, although he was himself engaged in the action, with the troops succeeded in procuring the release of HISTORICAL SKETCH. 11 Capt. Heald and lady, who were sent by him to St. Joseph, and thence to Mackinaw, whence they made (heir escape. The remain- der of the prisoners were retained, but, it is said, were treated with great kindness, and most of them surrendered to the British, at Detroit, in the following spring. The day following the action, the Indians burnt down the Fort, and dispersed. Such are the leading particulars of this unfortunate action, collected, principally, from an eye-wiiness of the whole. Capt. Heald has been subjected totrauch blame, a portion of which was undoubtedly merited. His management of the Indians was injudicious throughout, and the destruction of the stores, to say the least, imprudent. The evacua- tion, under existing circumstances, was remonstrated against, by Mr. Kinzie and Capt. Wells, both of whom, from long intercourse with the Indians, had become familiar with their character, and were enabled to anticipate and foretell the result which ensued. Capt. Wells had been bred an Indian warrior, and was a brave and skilful soldier. He unfortunately fell early in the action, and was found with his face blackened, after the manner of the Savages, when they meet with disappointment. The Fort was rebuilt in 1617, when it took the name of Fort Dearborn. It was occupied, except at short intervals, by a Gar- rison, until 1837, when, the Indians having generally left the coun- try, it was finally evacuated, and has never eince been re-occupied as a military post. It remains in much the same condiiion as in '37, except the pallisades, which were removed, the past spring, and their place supplied by a handsome fence. It has since been occu- pied by officers and agents in charge of the public works, and their families. Fort Dearborn being almost the only memento of the p;ist, in the midst of so many creations of the day the necessity of any alteration in its appearance is to be regretted. Until 1832, and even so late as 1833, little or nothing was done towards making a commencement .of the City it probably not en- tering into the imagination of any one, previous to that time, that a town of any importance was to be here at all, at least, not for many years. In 1832, its appearance and condition was much the same as in 1823. when Major Long, who visited the place that year, de- scribes it " as presenting no cheering prospects, and containing but few huts, inhabited by a miserable race of men, scarcely equal to the Indians, from whom they were descended and their log or bark houses as low, filthy, and disgusting, displaying not the least trace of comfort, and as a phice of business, affording no inducements to the settler the whole amount of trade on the Lake, not exceeding the cargos of five or six schooners, even at the time when the Gar- rison received its supplies from Mackinaw." This picture, though perhaps too highly colored, presents, in the main, a correct view of Chicago, in 1832, In 1830, there had been a sale of Canal lots, the best bringing only fifty or one hundred dollars, many of which have since become the most valuable in the City. Up to about that time, the present most business, and densely populated part of the City, was fenced, and used by the Garrison, for some purpose of hus- bandry, or pasturage. So late as '35 or '6, the fires usual on the prairies in trie fall, overran the third and fourth wards. There were only some five or six houses, built mostly of logs, and a population of less than one hundred. 12 DESCRIPTION AND One of the^e houses, formerly the property of the Fur Company, was, until a short time past, occupied by Col. Beaubien. About 80 rods to the south of that, stood a house, once occupied by Colonel Owings, but since washed away by the Lake. A house, known as " Cobweb Castle," on block No. 1, was formerly the abode of Dr. Alexander Wolcott. The dwelling of Mr. John Kinzie stood East^f the Lake House. A log building at the corner of Dearborn and South Water Streets, and the once celebrated tavern of Mr. Mark Beaubien, on the site of the Sauganash. generally known as the Eagle, together with a building on block 14, and a cabin, occupied by Robinson, the In- dian Chief at Wolf Point, constituted all the buildings, except the Fort, to be found here in 1832. Sometime this year, however, Robert A. Kinzie built a store at Wolf Point, the first frame build- ing in Chicago. la 1834, several brick buildings were erected. The commerce of the place, up to this period, was equally insig- nificant. In fact, there wns none, unless the traffic of the Fur Com- pany, can be dignified with that name. Vessels occasionally ven- tured here, but so seldom, that the arrival of a schooner was an event of no little moment, and created n sensation throughout the community. The year 1832, may then be regarded as the period from which to date the commencement of the City. Many causes, the Indian war among them, conspired, about this time, to bring Chicago into general notice. What was called the " Western Fever," had begun ro rage generally, throughout the country. . Thousands were flocking from the East, to seek homes in the West. The first premonitions of the speculating mania, had manifested themselves. Eligible sites for*towns and cities, were sought out, and eagerly appropriated. The superior advantages of Chicago, in this period of general enquiry, when enterprise was universally aroused, and incited by the hope of sudden wealth, could not long escape public attention. The attention of Congress had been called to the importance and necessity of a harbor, and an appropriation was confidently relied upon at the next session. Gen. Scott, who explored the country during the Indian war, took n lively interest in this work, and ad- dressed a letter in relation to it, which was subsequently Inid be- fore Congress. The construction of the Illinois and Michigan Canal, had also been finally resolved upon by the State legislature. Active measures were being talfen to survey the different routes, and to estimate the cost of the various plans proposed. Hence the commencement, and completion of this important work at no distant day, might confidently be relied upon. The resources of the State, too, were beginning to be more generally known, and better ap- preciated. The most alluring reports of the character of the soil its productiveness the facilities for making farms on our prairies together with the salubrity of the climate, were circulated far and wide. The most strenuous exertions were made, and with the most signal success, to promote emigration. Enterprise, stimulated by interest, and the hope of gain, was aroused, calling forth and cou- centrating upon this one object, all the resources and capabilities of the age. Capital was enlisted, and credit and unlimited confidence invoked to its aid. Money, owing to excessive bank, and even pri- vate issues, was abundant, and loans to any amount were effected HISTORICAL SKETCH. 13 with the greatest ease. The West suddenly became the centre of men's thoughts and wishes, and Chicago, as the most important point in the West, the goal to which all directed their aspirtions. Such are some of the prominent causes which may be said, at the period referred to, to have given the first impulse to the City. That it grew and prospered as it did, tinder their operation, will excite no surprise the result could not well have been otherwise. Ils progress, accordingly, until about '37 has no parallel it was rapid in the extreme. Buildings went up as if by magic stores were openexJ by the hundred, and speedily filled with merchandize; people of every calling and'pursuit in life, laborers, mechanics, and professional men, influenced by a common purpose the hope of success in their several spheres of action came together here, and entered at once with a zeal and activity into the schemes of improve- ment projected.. The sale of Canal lots in 1830 has been already mentioned. In 1833, a great Indian payment was held here, near the present site of the Lake House. In the latter part of this year, the work on the harbor was commenced and during the same year, the present Light-house was erected, the old one having fallen down. In 1835, the population of the place was said to amount to 5,500, a computation which probably included transitory persons, a great many of whom were here at the time. The actual popula- tion, however, that year, could not have been much less than 3000. In 1836, another sale of Canal lots took place, which was attended with much excitement, and occasioned a large collection of people from distant quarters. The prices were extravagantly high. In 1836, a branch of the State Bank was located here. On the 4th of July, 1831, the ceremony of breaking the first ground on the Canal, took place at Canal Port, in presence of a large concourse of spec- tators. During the winter of '36-7, the act to incorporate the City, passed the State Legislature; and in April succeeding, the first elec- tion under the Charter was held, which resulted in the choice of W. B. OOUEJV to the office of Mayor. The growth cf commerce, thus far, kept pace with everything else. The community were dependent, during the first few years, entirely upon supplies from abroad; this, together with the great influx of emigration, and the travel which began to set in this direction, gave employment to a considerable amount of shipping, and Steamboats and Schooners began to ply regularly between this port and Buffalo. During this brief but exciting period, the community fortunately found time to devote some attention to things of greater importance than the accumulation of this world's goods. Before or during 1836, as many as six Churches had been organized, and suitable buildings provided for their accommodation. These Churches, together with such as have since been established, have always received a liberal support, and are now in a flourishing condition. Neither was the subject of education wholly neglected. The school section, which fortunately lay contiguous to the Cily, and was pro- portionably valuable, was disposed of in 1834, and the avails applied to the support of Common Schools. Means for the diffusion of general intelligence were also provided. In 1834, John Calhoun commenced the publication of the Chi- cago Democrat; and:in the following year, Thos. O. Davis esta- blished the Chicago American, both of which papers still exist ; the 2 , 14 DESCRIPTION AND latter under the name of the Chicago Express, being published daily. These papers, together with the Prairie Farmer, Agricultu- ral; the Western Citizen, Abolition ; the North-Western Baptist, Baptist; and the Better Covenant, Universalist, which liave since been started, 'are ably conducted, and have an extensive circulation. The year 1837, is especially memorable in the annals of Chicago, as the period of protested notes. It was during this year, ihat the consequences of speculation, which had hitherto operated most favorably for the West, were experienced to a most ruinous extent. Chicago was intimately connected \viih speculation, through all its progress. It was in its incipient stages, at the period of the com- mencement of the City ; but a disposition and tendency to it was apparent even then. It raged with gre.it violence during '35-6, and a portion of '37, at which time it gave color and direction to most business transactions. The history of this singular delusion is replete \viih instructive incidents. It seems unaccountable to the more sober judgment of these limes, how men, under any circumstances, could have been led so far astray how prudence, foresight, and sagacity could, to such an extent, have lost their dominion and control over the human mind. But so it was. The rapid and unprecedented rise in the value of real estate, and the certainty of that rise, exerted a most seductive influence; very few were found able to resist the tempta- tion; all classes of people ultimately abandoning the usual avoca- tions of society, devoted themselves exclusively to speculation, and hazarded their all upon this sea of chance. This wild spirit found its way ultimately into the halls of legislation, and controlled the conduct and policy of states, as it had done that of individuals. It was under the influence of this spirit that those stupendous schemes of internal improvement originated in many of t!,e new states, which have entailed upon subsequent times the evils of debt taxation and in some cases, national disgrace and dishonor. Speculation led, in short, to the perpetration, on all haiu?s, of acts of folly and absurdity, seldom before heard of. The sources of wealth being regarded as inexhaustible, naturally created extrava- gant ideas of prosperity, and afforded to all the apparent means of indulging in every species of expenditure. It would be useless to follow speculation through its stages, as one act of absurdity suc- ceeded another in rapid succession. Are not these times and their consequences written in efiaceless characters upon the meuiory of every reader ? But the day of wnfh nnd retribution was at hand. Confidence and credit, too long abused, refused any longer to lend their aid. The unfortunate victims of the delusion were suddenly awakened from their dream of wealth to the certainty of -almost universal bank- ruptcy and ruin. Thousands suddenly called upon to investigate the condition of their affairs, which, in the excitement of the mo- ment, no one thought it necessary to attend to, found themselves involved to the extent of thousands and hundredsfof-thousands of dollars, and their real estate, from which --done the means of pay- ment could come, depreciated in value, in, fact unsaleable at any price. Thousands, from affluence, were reduced without warning or preparation to poverty; some struggled fora time with their destiny, but the evil day came at last ; and scarcely one, ultimately, HISTORICAL SKETCH. 15 survived the catastrophe. The comparatively small number of those who did finally escape the ordeal, it has been observed were indebted more to chance and good luck than to any unusual endow- ment of prudence and sagacity. The ablest business men of the age those in whose judgment and capacity in ordinary times we should unhesitatingly repose the most implicit confidence, ventured as far and hazarded as much as any in this dangerous game. To Chicago, iu an especial degree, was the stroke which was thus inflicted upon the business interests of the country injurious and calamitous. It was to her a season of mourning and desolation. Many of her most business and enterprising citizens were insolvent all, to a greater or less extent, embarrassed in their circumstances. She had gone on hitherto in a state of uninterrupted prosperity no- thins had thus far occurred to check the progress of improvement. Could that state of prosperity have continued, Chicago would, by this time, have ranked among the proudest cities of the land. But ca- lamity came suddenly and unexpectedly ; and, for a time, she quailed under its effects. But she was not, and could not be entirely prostrated. Her position was too favorable, and her redeeming powers too abundant to permit her very long to be seriously affected by any calamity, however great. She had, in common with the west, gained much by speculation. What had been accomplished could not be un- done. Her works of improvement survived her imputation was left to her, and more than all her great and inexhaustible natural re- sources remained to bear her on to the consummation of her high destiny. Her citizens returned to their habits of industry and eco- nomy, from which the force of evil example had seduced them. Her business men, taught a severe lesson by the past, bent all their energies, and called into requisition all their experience to build up their injured credit, and to restore their business to a safe and per- manent foundation. The consequences began gradually to develop themselves. But little was gained during '38-9; but in '40, things assumed a more favorable aspect, and since that time the increase of business and. population has been most rapid. This will be more fully illustrated by a reference to the census of different peri- ods, and to the tabular statements of the amount, value and charac- ter of the export and import trade of the place during each year, contained in another part of this volume. It is with feelings of pride and satisfaction that the friends of Chicago can refer to the experience of the past six years, as furnish- ing an enduring monument to the industry, enterprise and persever- ance of her people, and as establishing, beyond controversy, the ex- istence and permanency of her sources of prosperity. If, with an impoverished community, at a period of general prostration of the business interests of the country, under the pressure of heavy mu- nicipal and enormous State liabilities, with resources comparatively undeveloped, and the works of public improvement unfinished. Chicago has accomplished so much, what may not reasonably be expected when these and all obstacles are removed from her way? A glance at her geographical position will convince the most sceptical that Chicago is but the nucleus about which is destined to grow up, at no remote period, one of the most important commer- cial towns in the West. Situated on the waters of the only great 16 DESCRIPTION AND Lake exclusively within the United States being the termina- tion, on the one hand, of the navigation of the Lakes, and on the other, of the Illinois and Michigan Canal affording great natu- ral facilities for a harbor, by means of Chicago River and its branches the excelling site for a capacious ship basin in the very heart of the town, at the junction of said branches having dependent upon it a region of country vast in extent, and of extraordinary fertility, it must always be the dividing point between two. grear sections of the Union, where the productions of each must meet and pay tri- bute. It is susceptible of the easiest demonstration that the route by the Lakes, the Canal and the Western Rivers, when once the channels of communication are completed, will, for cheapness, safety and expedition, possess advantages superior to every other. Among the advantages of this route, the climate, so favorably adapted to the preservation of produce, deserves especiaj notice. The commercial interests, then, of the v ast, and especially of the great valley of the West, will be intirr 3ly, connected with Chica- go, as a place of transhipment and deposit and the value and amount of the trade in produce, in lumber, salt, and in every des- cription of merchandize which will centre here, is beyond our pre- sent powers of computation, and tan only be measured by the future wants and capabilities of the country. Those important works the harbor and canal upon which so many interests depend, justly demand the most serious conside- ration; and it is highly gratifying to allude to their present most flattering prospects. It is now reduced almost to a certainty, that Chicago, after the expenditure of so much solicitude, and a large amount of money, is speedily to be furnished with a Safe, commodi- ous and permanent harbor. Under the supervision of our present able superintendent, the work is prosecuted with a degree of vigor that must be crowned with success. <% The principal difficulty encountered during the progress of the harbor has been occasioned by the deposition of sand and the for- mation of bars at its mouth. The plans heretofore adopted to sur- mount this difficulty have failed upon trial, and are now abandoned. Two plans have been proposed the present season, which have at- tracted considerable attention. One of these, suggested by Captain McLellan, the present superintendent, recommends the construc- tion of a pier north of the present ones, at a distance from them greater than the length of the present bar, and is based upon the supposition that the sand would form a bar around its head, and not reach the entrance of the harbor. The other plan, which has been adopted, and is now being carried into effect, proposes the extension of the north pier, in the form of a circle, a distance of 990 feet, which will bring it into the line of the original direction of that pier. A good channel for vessels of every class will then exist from the head of the south pier, around the bar, that pier being extended no farther into the Lake. If this plan succeed, Chicago will be fur- nished with a harbor, not inferior to any on the Lakes. 41 We have the most flattering assurance that the work upon our other and not less important branch of public improvement the Illi- Dois and Michigan Canal will be resumed the coming season, un- der the operation of the late law of the Legjlature. The history of this great work t which was contemplated from the first settle- HISTORICAL SKETCH. 17 ment of the State, and has been the subject of legislation for more than twenty years, presents a remarkable instance of the obstacles which frequently oppose the accomplishment of the greatest under- takings. The first survey of the canal was made in 1823. In 1825 a bill was passed to incorporate the Illinois and Michigan Canal Company; but no stock being taken under the charter, it was re- pealed at the next special session. In 1827, act of March 2, Con- gress appropriated each alternate section of land within five miles of the prepared line. In 1829, a board of commissioners was orga- nized, with power to determine upon the route, and to discharge other duties connected with the work. Chicago, Ottawa, and other towns on the line were laid out by the board, and sales of lots effected. The work was commenced in the year 1836, and was sus- pended in 1842. The law under which this work was contracted, provides that ihe canal shall be GO feet wide at the surface, 40 feet at the base, and six feet deep; that it shall commence at Chicago, on canal land, and terminate at the mouth of the Little Vermillioa River, making a distance of 95-i miles. If was to be constructed upon the deep cut principle, and to be fed from the waters of Lake Michigan. By a recent survey, a method has been discovered by which it is believed that a sufficient supply of water can be pro- cured from Fox River for a canal upon the shallow cut plan. The sum of about $5,000,000 has thus far been expended upon the work. To complete it upon the plan contemplated by the late law, about Si, 600, 000 more has been estimated to be necessary. If that law goes into effect, as present appearances se'em clearly to indicate, the canal will be finished in about three years. We shall then have the greatest continuity of inland water communication in- the world eMendjng from the Atlantic Ocean by the Erie Canal, along the chain of Lakes, through our canal, the Illinois and Mississippi Rivers, to th.vGulf of Mexico. This will be a glorious consumma- tion for Illinois, a. id for every interest connected with her. The vast resources connected with the canal itself, the resources which Mt will develope throughout the State, will enable her in a short time to discharge all her debts-*- to establish her credit and to re- deem her reputation. Already h;s the prospect of the completion of this work effected a revolution in public sentiment, and has caused emigration to set strongly in this direction. The reports which have been circulated in regnrd to the circumstances and pros- pects of the State have been discovered, upon examination, to be founded in falsehood and misrepresentation. The public are now sa- tisfied that the climate is as healthy and salubrious as any portion of the West that the soil is infinitely superior that our taxes, even un- der the effect of that severe ordeal through which we have passed, uniformly have been less than any of the adjoining States and Ter- ritoriesand that the prospects of the value of real estate, the high price of produce, and the facilities of a convenient market, will ren- der it the most desirable State in the Union. We may trust that the day is not far distant when Illinois will assume her proper posi- tion among the States of the Union when her friends will be en- abled to hurl back the imputations which have been cast upon her character whon she can no longer, with a shadow of truth or justice, be stigmatized as the land of speculators and repudiation! Until then, she must calmly bide her time, 2* 18 DESCRIPTION AtfD In conclusion of our subject, it may be proper to refer more pnf ticularly to some important considerations and facts connected with the present condition of Chicago, hitherto only incidentally alluded to. The city, for some time past, has been considerably embarrassed with debt, in consequence of the necessity which has existed of borrowing money to carry on its works of improvement. The ex- isting liabilities of the city amount to $6977.55, vi/.. : bonds to Strachan & Scott, $5000; bonds for Clark Street Bridge, 83000; bonds for barrier to the Lake, and interest, 8977.55. The increas- ing revenues derived from taxation and other sources .will soon afford the means to extinguish these liabilities entirely. The lax of the present year, at the rate of assessment of this year, amounts to $7852.45; the school tax, at half a mill per co.nt.. to $685.24. A large amount of city property, which hereiofore has been unpro- ductive,, will, the next year, become taxable, particularly the canal lands and the reservation. The amount of the tax for the coming year, unless a reduction should take place, may safely be estimated at $12,000. In addition to this, there is now in the treasury, unappropriated, $1854, and the current expenses, paid. The management of the fiscal affairs of the city, by our present common council, is entitled to the highest praise. The finan- cial ability of the mayor has been recently tested in the ma- nagement of a negotiation at New York, by which a reduction of three per cent, has been effected upon the interest of the largest debt of the city, and may be regarded as equivalent to a new loan*. The credit of the city is tiow established upon a permanent foundation, and cannot be easily shaken. City scrip for some time has been at par. 1 Our common schools are worthy of especial notice. They are sustained in part by the school fund, and in part by taxation. The fund originally amounted to about 839,000 ; but nearly one ha-Jf of this amount has been lost by injudicious loans. These schools are justly the pride of the city, and the interest which is manifested in them is an evidence of the importance which the community at- taches to education. We have also a medical college chartered by the Legislature in 1837, and several schools sustained by private munificence. Independent of these, we have several other institu- tions, which are exerting a beneficial influence. Among them, the Mechanics' Institute and the Young Men's Association are,- prominent in importance. These institutions, while sustained as they have been hitherto, will be both useful and ornamental to the city. Both of them have libraries, containing, in the aggregate, about 2500 volumes. The Mechanics' Institute has a department in the Prairie Farmer, devoted exclusively to the interests of the mechanical arts the Young Men's Association a reading room, where most of the publications of the day are regularly received, and accessible to the public. There is, in addition to these libraries, a circulating library, containing about 1500 volumes. AVc have other societies designed to meet the intellectual wants of the com- munity, among which may be mentioned the Chicago Lyceum 1 the oldest literary society in the place. Our theaire a very pretty one has been in operation the past season, and met with some encouragement ; but it must be confessed that, at present, the pros- pects of the drama are not flattering. HISTORICAL SKETCH. 19 The book making and publishing business has been commenced Under favorable auspices. In illustration of the condition of this department of trade, we may allude to the third volume of Mr. SCAMMON'S REPORTS OF THE SUPREME COURT, printed by Messrs. ELLIS & FERGUS, and now about ready for publication. The fact that the execution of this volume is equal, if not superior to the two former ones, which were issued from two of the best .presses of the East, is highly creditable to our city, and must be gratifying to the profession generally. In facilities for the accommodation of the travelling public, Chi-, cago has made great progress. In early times our inns were mise- rable in the extreme. Now we have eighteen hotels and houses of public entertainment, some of them large and splendid establish- ments, not inferior to any in the West. The great amount of travel passing through here during the season of navigation renders tavern keeping a very profitable branch of business. An exiensive staging business has grown up here, and. may be De- ferred to as an instance of enterprise and public spirit on the part of those engaged in it. The several lines of stages centring here, for speed, safety and comfort, are not excelled by any in the coun- try. The Hydraulic Company, designed to supply the city with pure water from the Lake, was incorporated in 1836, and has already been the source of great utility to the city, both in supplying water for domestic purposes, and for the extinguishment of fires. The stock is owned principally by merchants, and in time must become the srource of great profit. Ship building has been carried on here to some extent. A steam propeller, registering 270 tons, was built the past season, and a schoo- ner of about 200 tons burthen, to be called the Maria r is now in pro- cess of construction by the same builder, and will probably be launched in the spring. It will be seen by reference to the statistical tables of this year, th.it a laj'gc amount of beef has been packed here the present sea- soq. We have four large packing houses and all of them have done a heavy business thus far. The pork pocking is only just com- mencing, but will, it is thought, be extensive. Much might be said in commendation of our Fire Companies all of which are highly efficient, and bespeak the public spirit of our citizens. Our Military Companies will speulc for themselves. Considering the age of the city, and the fact thuit our population has been derived from almost every nation under heaven, and speak so many different languages the existing state of its society confers distinction upon Chicago. Among the new cities of the west, we shall be entitled, in this particular, at the present time, to an envia- ble position; the means now adopted to improve the condition of society will, at no distant day, enable us to rank with any city in the land. Our citizens have nlways been distinguished for intelli- gence and morality and for the uniform observance of all the pro- prieties of life. Our common schools, as the means of educating the rising, generation, have always been regarded with the deepest interest, have been abundantly provided with the means for their support, and are conducted with great ability. The most scrupu- lous care is exercised, on the part of the inspectors of public in- 20 DESCRIPTION, ETC. struction, in the selection of teachers; the schools are subjected to frequent examination and their exists much emulation among the teachers. The most becoming respect, is paid to the institutions and forms of public worship. Our numerous churches and religious societies enable every one to worship God according to the dictates of con- science. Whatever opinions may be entertained in regard to reli- gion, it will be acknowledged that a decent respect for its ordi- nances, is greatly proraotive of the well-being and prosperity of any community. The peace and good order of society is worthy of remark. Brawls and affrays are extremely rare in our streets and it may justly be said, that a more peaceable and quiet population can no where be found. It will be impossible in this connection to mention particularly all the institutions which testify the public spirit and benevolence of the community. Reference, however, can be had to subsequent parts of the book, where they are more particularly described. We have now followed our subject to its conclusion. We have attempted to exhibit Chicago as it was in gone-by days to mark the successive stages of its progress and to delineate its condition at the present time. We h;ive reason to be proud of our city not so much on ac- count of its relative size among the other cities of the land of its present population and the amount and value of its commerce but as affording a sublime illustration of what man, under circum- stances, of great difficulty and embarrassment, can accomplish in a short space of time. In the hope that its future history mny be worthy of the past that the experience of the next and ench succeeding year, may- justify our favorable predictions of it in regard to its high destiny we must, for the present, bid adieu to the QUEEN CITY OF THE NORTH WEST ! NORRIS' CHICAGO DIRECTORY REMARKS. II has been the design to include in this Directory the names of all persons and all firms in the City, to arrange them alphabetically; and in every instance to give the correct spelling. There may be cases however, where names may have been accidentally inserted in the wrong connection, and cases also of incorrect orthography particularly where persons have been unable to spell, and the name hag been writien from the sound. Abbreviations, which occur only in a very few words, will readily be understood; b stands for between; Rand for Randolph; Mad 'for Madison; Wash for Washington, &c. The word street, in some instances, is omitted. The place of business uniformly precedes the residence. (mmediate measures will be taken to procure the names of all persons who have been accidentully omitted in this volume; a complete list, corrected from time to time, will be kept at the Genera) Intelligence Office, where the public can at all times get correct information in regard to the names, business, and residence of every inhabitant of theCity. Persons finding themselves excluded, and persons coming to the City hereafter, are re- quested to call at the above place and have their names enrolled. Very few of our buildings are numbered, the necessity, however, of this can be avoided, if persons occupying buildings permanently, will put themselves to the trifling trouble and expense of putting their names on their doors.

NORRIS, August 1st, 1843, under the authority of the Common Council; together with a comparison of this with the census of former periods. REMARKS. The following census wns taken with creat c.'ire and accuracy, all persons not permanently residing in the City being, in every instance, excluded. The population of the place might have been made much larger than it appears to be, by the result of this census, undoubtedly 8,500, by including a class of transitory persons which it is customary to compute as a part of the popula- tion of cities ; but it was thought advisable to base the present, census upon a permanent foundation; the census} of subsequent periods will then show the actual amount of increase. By transitory per- sons, are to be -understood persons not having n permanent resi- dence'in either of the wards of the Cify, and persons living here but absent for the time being by natives of other countries, those actually boru abroad, and not their descendants, who are include4 76 STATISTICS OF CHICAGO. -among the natives of this country. It is proper to remark, that a great increase of population has taken place since the date of this census. The present population exceeds 8000.

SETH JOHNSON, DEPUTY COLLECTOR AND INSPECTOR. Revenue Office, Clark street, opposite Saloon. The following tabular statements will exhibit, with an approach to STATISTICS OF CHICAGO. 77 accuracy, the amount and value of the trade of Chicago, tothe close of the present year, 1843. A very serious difficulty has existed, heretofore, in ascertaining the actual amount of exports and imports of the place, especially the exports, owing to the fact, that a great many vessels arrive and depart, during the season of navigation, without being reported at the Custom House, or leaving any evi- der.ee of the character and amount of their cargoes. The existence of this difficulty was more particularly set forth in a memorial of the Common Council to Congress, in the year 1840, in which they aJlow a deduction of one-third from the amount known, to be added, for the amount unknown. It has been thought advisable, in the follow- ing statement, to give only the actual amount, as ascertained from record in the revenue office, it being understood, from the above ex- planation, that the estimate is considerably below the true amount: EXPORTS.
