Description
Did you know that before World War I, over one hundred thousand Czechs lived in Chicago, making it the third largest Czech city after Prague and Vienna? Have you heard of the Eastland steamer disaster, which is also nicknamed the Czech Titanic? Do you know that there is a Czech National Cemetery in the USA? You might also be surprised that in 1931, a Czech even became the mayor of Chicago. The monograph Czech America: Chicago provides a comprehensive view of the development of the Czech community in American Chicago from 1848 to 1945. The core part of the publication is dedicated to the socio-cultural, economic, and political development of the Czech minority from an ethno-historical perspective.
