Abstract
"This book reproduces a 1905 guide used to navigate from Chicago to Lake Geneva and Beloit, with photos of the same scenes a century later. It shows a Chicago region that has been transformed-- and even more remarkable, a few scenes that have remained unchanged. The original maps and modern maps help you carefully retrace the route"--Page 4 of cover
