Summary of White City Recollections: The Illustrated 1893 Diary of a Trip to the World's Columbian Exposition
With youthful enthusiasm, eighteen-year-old Friend Pitts Williams absorbed the world's fair of 1893 and candidly recorded his illuminating and sometimes romantic observations in this diary. As did millions of others, he traveled by train to Chicago and immersed himself in the captivating sights and events of the greatest world's fair-the watershed and record-breaking World's Columbian Expositon, popularly called "The White City."His insightful record is illustrated with 270 photographs that the authors have carefully selected from their extensive Columbian Exposition reference library which exactly match the scenes the young man describes.
