Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from To Hell and Back: My Trip to South America
Ell has been glowingly described as a popular and populous place and since I had so Often been told to go there I bought a ticket for South America.
Chicago was our first stop. The city divides honor With bean-eating Boston as a windy burg, puffing itself up with pride over What it should be most ashamed.
The herd Of humanity rushes here like cattle to Armour's slaughter house, to become food for jails, hospitals, poorhouses, asylums and cemeteries.
Shelley - said Hell was a city very much like London, but then he never saw Chicago. From what I saw and heard, If Christ came to Chicago he must have left on the next train.
