Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Who knew a big fat murder mystery would come bobbing in on my fishing hook?But it did. Well, sorta.And you’d think the long blond stands of hair might’ve given someone a clue.But they didn’t. Not to everyone, that is.Oh sure, people talked. Some folks even said they knew who was at the bottom of the river. Others even said they knew how she got there too.But they didn’t. Not really. It was just talk, and I knew it too. Mom said not to listen to what she called idle gossip.What’s idle gossip? I asked.She never answered me. She never does.It doesn’t matter though. And it didn’t stop the rumors from flying around town either. Old Lady Hatch said it was the River spirits. She said they were awake again and they’d keep on taking people under the water until they’d taken everybody they wanted.But who’d believe a crazy old lady who lives with ninety-nine cats anyway?All I know is things haven’t been the same since I reeled in that mess on the Riverwalk dock.

Download or read book The Chicago River written by Libby Hill and published by Southern Illinois University Press. This book was released on 2019-02-21 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this social and ecological account of the Chicago River, Libby Hill tells the story of how a sluggish waterway emptying into Lake Michigan became central to the creation of Chicago as a major metropolis and transportation hub. This widely acclaimed volume weaves the perspectives of science, engineering, commerce, politics, economics, and the natural world into a chronicle of the river from its earliest geologic history through its repeated adaptations to the city that grew up around it. While explaining the river’s role in massive public works, such as drainage and straightening, designed to address the infrastructure needs of a growing population, Hill focuses on the synergy between the river and the people of greater Chicago, whether they be the tribal cultures that occupied the land after glacial retreat, the first European inhabitants, or more recent residents. In the first edition, Hill brought together years of original research and the contributions of dozens of experts to tell the Chicago River’s story up until 2000. This revised edition features discussions of disinfection, Asian carp, green strategies, the evolution of the Chicago Riverwalk, and the river’s rejuvenation. It also explores how earlier solutions to problems challenge today’s engineers, architects, environmentalists, and public policy agencies as they address contemporary issues. Revealing the river to be a microcosm of the uneasy relationship between nature and civilization, The Chicago River offers the tools and knowledge for the city’s residents to be champions on the river’s behalf.
