This book discusses an interesting event in US history - the 1893 World's Fair held in Chicago. Larson identifies the major players, descriptive events, monumental changes, and interesting personalities. The book started off with a lot of architectual design and intrigue but waned as the story progressed. Architecture was replaced with colorful people and new, profound inventions. For the history buff, this is a good book to add to the repertoire.
