Description
by Jaroslav Kříz (Author), Jakub Nohavica (Translator)
Did you know that more than 100,000 Czechs lived in Chicago before World War I, making it the third largest Czech city after Prague and Vienna? Did you hear about Eastland disaster, also known as the Czech Titanic? Did you know that there is a Czech National Cemetery in the USA? You might also be surprised to know that in 1931 a Czech became the mayor of Chicago.
The monograph Czech America: Chicago provides a comprehensive look at the development of the Czech community in Chicago between 1848-1945. The main part of the book is devoted to the socio-cultural, economic and political development of the Czech minority from an ethno-historical perspective.
