The Chain Orsquo; Lakes region has been one of Chicagorsquo;s premier vacation spots since the 1880s. The nine major lake basinsmdash;Catherine; Channel; Grass; Bluff; Marie; Fox; Nippersink; Petite; and Pistakeemdash;are all connected by the Fox River waterway and have for over 100 years been northern Illinoisrsquo;s leading destination for inland boaters; fishermen; picnickers; or those just hoping to relax and play at the beach. Luxurious mansions and swank resorts once dotted the more than 6;000 acres of shoreline. Many are gone today; some remain but have been vastly changed; but none are forgotten. Captured here in over 200 vintage postcards are scenes from the chainrsquo;s heyday; scenes that will seem at once faraway and familiar to the water-skiers; windsurfers; and other outdoor recreationists who populate the Chain Orsquo; Lakes today.

Four StarsBy Nina LaQuinoWhat a tragic life. but an unforgetable voice.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Not a biography per se; but a good read.By Sterling SunleyI found that there was quite a bit of repetition and a lot of unsubstantiated hear-say about Lady Day. Its not a biography (nor was it intended to be). but as an oral history it does include some new information.
