Join historian Dominic Pacyga as he traces our city’s storied past, from the explorations of Joliet and Marquette in 1673 to the new wave of urban pioneers today. Pacyga's latest book, Chicago: A Biography, is filled with all of the city's characters and defining moments.

Presented in partnership with Columbia College and Chicago Matters.
