Join us for a look at the some of the badly-behaved characters who shaped the history of Chicago during the 19th century. There were, of course, the notorious thieves and bad-guys who dominated over the young and struggling prairie town. But, we will also look at perpetrators of mischief and other colorful anti-heroes… some who could be considered misunderstood visionary thinkers. From the Chicago Times newspaper publisher Wilbur F. Storey to the king of department stores Marshall Field to the dastardly sausage maker Adolph Luetgert, we will take a delightful look at those individuals who helped shape Chicago in the 1800s.
