Product Information
In The Devil in the White City, the smoke, romance, and mystery of the Gilded Age come alive as never before. Two men, each handsome and unusually adept at his chosen work, embodied an element of the great dynamic that characterized America's rush toward the twentieth century. The architect was Daniel Hudson Burnham, the fair's brilliant director of works and the builder of many of the country's most important structures, including the Flatiron Building in New York and Union Station in Washington, D.C. The murderer was Henry H. Holmes, a young doctor who, in a malign parody of the White City, built his "World's Fair Hotel" just west of the fairgrounds--a torture palace complete with dissection table, gas chamber, and 3,000-degree crematorium. Burnham overcame tremendous obstacles and tragedies as he organized the talents of Frederick Law Olmsted, Charles McKim, Louis Sullivan, and others to transform swampy Jackson Park into the White City, while Holmes used the attraction of the great fair and his own satanic charms to lure scores of young women to their deaths. What makes the story all the more chilling is that Holmes really lived, walking the grounds of that dream city by the lake. The Devil in the White City draws the reader into a time of magic and majesty, made all the more appealing by a supporting cast of real-life characters, including Buffalo Bill, Theodore Dreiser, Susan B. Anthony, Thomas Edison, Archduke Francis Ferdinand, and others. Erik Larson's gifts as a storyteller are magnificently displayed in this rich narrative of the master builder, the killer, and the great fair that obsessed them both.

- s***p (5)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letzte 6 MonateBestätigter KaufI ordered eight dinner plates for half the cost that most others were selling them for. Items were exactly as described. Communication of payment and shipping was great. Items were received and packaged perfectly!!Corelle by Corning - Zenith Pattern - 10.25" Dinner Plates | Set of 8 (Nr. 197324517305)
- l***e (248)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letzte 6 MonateBestätigter KaufShipment was received in good condition. However, the seller accidentally sent me someone else's order. The problem was quickly addressed and both myself and the other buyer were able to exchange our orders with shipping paid for by Redd Bear. Accidents will always happen, but it is how they are addressed that matters. Definitely a seller that is able to provide customer service when needed.

Shipping was free and took a little bit but seller shipped in a timely manner. A great transaction that I’m very pleased with. Highly recommend seller! Thanks so much!Antwort von reddbear- Verkäufer reddbear hat auf Bewertung reagiert.- Verkäufer reddbear hat auf Bewertung reagiert.This feedback is not for Redd Bear. The buyer purchased this item & either it didn't show or they didn't see Redd Bear was on Away Time & they requested this order to be cancelled due to the wait. Which, that's fine, I cancelled the order. It was relisted & we have feedback from the buyer whom ultimately purchased & received this item, Corning Ware Simply Lite 2 qt Dish. This feedback positive, I'm just going to leave it alone. I like Schnauzers too. ThanksCorning Ware Simply Lite 2qt White Casserole Dish 1.9L Glass Bakeware No Lid (Nr. 197338704977)
