Book Description
Excerpt from Authentic Visitors' Guide to the World's Columbian Exposition and Chicago: May 1 to October 30, 1893; Dedicatory Ceremonies, October 20, 21, 22, 1892; Condensed Information Compiled From Official Sources To intelligently view the many miles of exhibit frontage at the Exposition will require at least a month. A treatise of five hundred pages might be prepared without exhausting this subject; so voluminous a work, however, would be as vague and fruitless to the visitor as would be an attempt to take in the vast display in a few hours. The purpose of the Authentic Visitors' Guide is to furnish, in brief and attractive form, all information required by the stranger relating to the Exposition and the city of Chicago. The maps in this compilation are permanent and accurate, and must prove an indispensable aid to every one unacquainted with Chicago's streets and railway systems. The classified index to 1,000 subjects, on pages 60 to 67, aids in the prompt location of all exhibits. It indicates the group number and the building in which the desired object may be found. This system of classification has been arranged exclusively for the Authentic Visitors' Guide, and is copyrighted.
