Chicago Neighborhoods: Back of the Yards & Union Stock Yard

Описание к видео Chicago Neighborhoods: Back of the Yards & Union Stock Yard

This illustrated presentation looks at one of the Chicago’s most written about neighborhoods, The Back of the Yards, as well as the industrial base that created it, and still plays a formative role in its development, the Union Stock Yard.

Dominic Pacyga, Ph.D., Emeritus Professor of History at Columbia College in Chicago, traces the more than 150-year development of the area which has always served Chicago as a portal for the waves of immigration that have transformed the city.
