Book excerpt: Once a landscape of dunes, marshes, and woodlands hugging the southern edge of Lake Michigan, the city of East Chicago was a developer's dream for the emerging steel industry. The industrial jobs provided a way out of poverty, but the area also offered parks, schools, neighborhoods, and civil organizations. Ammeson, born and raised in East Chicago, shows that the city had a sense of vitality and the essence that the American dream was available for all. -- adapted from back cover
