New Chicago History SiteIf you're interested in the history of Chicago, especially its architecture, check out this new creation: Forgotten Chicago.

Two New Sites AddedI submit for your review the following weblogs:
1. Chicago History: The Journal of an Amateur Historian. I've known of Ms. Williams site for about a month, but waited patiently in order to sample her postings. I wanted to see what directions she would take, and whether the topics might interest H&E readers. Looks great! I'm all for supporting Chicago-area historians and history enthusiasts.
2.
