Description
Excerpt from The Calumet Region Historical Guide: Containing the Early History of the Region as Well as the Contemporary Scene Within the Cities of Gary, Hammond, East Chicago (Including Indiana Harbor), And Whiting
How can a region as young as the Calumet Industrial Region be said to have a history? How can an industrial area have any interest for the layman? These two questions were met on every hand by the editors. However, they were heartened by those contemporary annalists who main tain that the true history of the twentieth century is the story of indus trialism, and by those historiographers who say that, although the vital events Of a city or a region have been hurried forward from stage to stage, the record Of them is history.
