		Nearly 400 thumbnail maps pinpoint Chicago neighborhoods and suburban municipalities; these maps are complemented by hundreds of fl-and-white and color photographs and thematic maps that bring the history of metropolitan Chicago to life.
		The Encyclopedia of Chicago is one of the most significant historical projects undertaken in the last twenty years, and it has everything in it to engage the most curious historian as well as settle the most boisterous barroom dispute.

		That was the summer of 1924, and all three women were soon to be overshadowed by the trial of Nathan Leopold and Nathan Loeb, two young men at the University of Chicago who had killed Billy Franks in one of the first cases to be considered a trial of the century.

		How the one remaining plate got to Chicago is an interesting story in itself -- a story that is consistent with physical evidence (to be discussed later) that this plate is indeed one of the original Kinderhook plates brought to Nauvoo in 1843.
		The Chicago Historical Society received one of the plates in 1920 as a gift from Charles F. Gunther, a noted collector of historical artifacts.
		He secured permission from the Chicago Historical Society to bring the plate to BYU for exhaustive non-destructive testing -- that is, analytical tests not involving actual damage to the plate.

		At the southwestern tip of Lincoln Park stands one of Chicago's oldest cultural institutions (founded in 1856), but one that has successfully brought its exhibits into the 21st century.
		Inside the Historical Society's lovely redbrick and glass-walled building, you'll find well-designed displays of significant objects, artifacts, and artwork -- but the overall effect is instructive rather than interactive (this isn't the place to bring young children).
		The Historical Society also sponsors lectures, symposia, and seminars; film screenings; family programs; historical reenactments and performances by local theater companies; and music concerts on the beautiful plaza overlooking Lincoln Park.
