| Lost German Chicago |
|
| from the German American National Congress |
By 1900, one in four Chicagoans was either German born or had a German born parent. Despite such a demographic
legacy, no other ethnic group's contributions to this city has been more forgotten if not erased
by the passage and vicissitudes of time. Lost German Chicago retrieves this heritage via a pictorial mosaic
of German American life since their arrival in the 1840s, through the tumultuous beer and labor riots of the 19th century,
as well as both World Wars of the 2oth, until the present day. As a companion piece to the Lost German Chicago Exhibition
presently on display in the DANK Haus German American Cultural Center museum, it is now available for $24 per copy at the
DANK Haus.
**** Highly recommended by Mike Haas, GAPA Brennpunkt and Website Editor.

| A Novel of Big City Politics by Mark Quinn |
Award winning short fiction writer and journalist Mark M. Quinn offers a character driven plot that shows
the thin line between good and evil in a big city ward boss. In a way that few authors can, Quinn offers a convincing portrait
of how complicated and mercurial the world of ward politics is and how, by definition, a public official is torn by conflicting
motivations. . . . This novel is a spellbinding look into the annals of America's colorful 20th century big city politics.
Available now on Amazon.com for $15.99. Highly recommended by GAPA Secretary, Editor & Webmeister Mike Haas.
