Description:

During the late 1800s, the rise of manufacturing, the first soaring skyscrapers, new symphony orchestras and art museums, and winning baseball teams all heralded the midwestern city's coming of age. Jon C. Teaford chronicles the development of these cities of the industrial Midwest as they challenged the urban supremacy of the East.
