- Reviewed in the United States on December 22, 2014My wife loves this book!
- Reviewed in the United States on August 24, 2011The author who brought you the comprehensive "Chicago Journalism: A History" is back with a new book, "King of the Gold Coast." For his new book, Wayne Klatt meticulously researched "Cap" George Wellington Streeter, who claimed land beneath the waters of Lake Michigan as his own and set up his own tiny - and brief -- empire off the Chicago shore. Today, the name Streeterville, a posh neighborhood on Chicago's Near North Side Gold Coast, is the most lasting monument to the self-described captain who challenged Chicago authorities and millionaires for territory he called his own. Klatt tells the tale, both truth and fiction, extremely well.
