Go south beyond the Midway, and near Twenty-sixth street step within a log stockade that stands to the left of the roadway. Before you pass within, look back and scan the Chicago skyline with its towering skyscrapers; drink deep of the scene about you that voices a century of progress.
For the next moment you are to be carried back a hundred years and more, back to a day when Chicago1s few settlers huddled close to old Fort Dearborn, and the fort housed soldiers to protect them, and to hold the line of advancing civilization against the northwestern tribes.
