City of the Century: The Epic of Chicago and the Making of AmericaThe epic of Chicago is the story of the emergence of modern America. Here, witness Chicago's growth from a desolate fur trading post in the 1830s to one of the world's most explosively alive cities by 1900.

The epic of Chicago is the story of the emergence of modern America. Here, witness Chicago's growth from a desolate fur-trading post in the 1830s to one of the world's most explosively alive cities by 1900. Donald Miller's powerful narrative embraces it all: Chicago's wild beginnings, its reckless growth, its natural calamities (especially the Great Fire of 1871), its raucous politics, its empire-building businessmen, its world-transforming architecture, its rich mix of cultures, its community of young writers and journalists, and its staggering engineering projects--which included the reversal of the Chicago River and raising the entire city from prairie mud to save it from devastating cholera epidemics. The saga of Chicago's unresolved struggle between order and freedom, growth and control, capitalism and community, remains instructive for our time, as we seek ways to build and maintain cities that retain their humanity without losing their energy. City of the Century throbs with the pulse of the great city it brilliantly brings to life.Binding Type: Paperback

Amazing durable product for your fur babies!
Color: Brown, Pattern Name: Tree stump 2 Pack, Color: Brown, Pattern Name: Tree stump 2 Pack
We love this product! I have two aggressive chewers, one being a Staffordshire bull terrier, and the other great Dane mix puppy who is eight months old. They both love to chew and can be mischievous or anxiety ridden when they are bored and if they aren’t entertained with something. My Staffordshire bullterrier is a very aggressive chewer and we’ve had a hard time finding durable toys for her. This product is amazing. It keeps them entertained for at least an hour with the food that you can place inside. The molds are great and it’s really nice that I can make homemade dog treats to put in the toy. I use these toys every day, multiple times a day, and they’re holding up amazing. I love that the company includes the molds for the treats as well as a little key to open up the back of the toy to put the food in. This is a really good product. I have spent hundreds of dollars on toys and this one is worth the cost. I’ve tried bully box, Kong products, anything you can think of that says durability chewing, however this is really really good. I 100% recommend this product and I think it’s very fair pricing. Your fur babies will get a lot of playtime with this!!

Good puppy toy
Color: Brown, Pattern Name: Tree stump 1 Pack
Keeps the pup busy. He is not able to bite through it, it is very durable. Only gave 4 stars because it only takes him about 15 minutes to go through it and hes onto the next thing. Love that he is not able to destroy it though like other toys.

High quality toy loved by my dogs
Color: Brown, Pattern Name: Tree stump 2 Pack
These are amazing, my dogs favorite toys now. I have two strong chewers who haven’t been able to destroy these. I use yogurt, peanut butter and eggs, broth, really any dog friendly liquids to fill it. I recommend these to all my friends and family with dogs of all sizes.
