Swedes in Chicago

In 1910 Stockholm Sweden was the only city with more Swedish-born inhabitants than Chicago, Illinois.  I just stumbled across this this morning and I am surprised I have never come across this before.

The Encyclopedia of Chicago
presented by
Chicago History Museum, The Newberry Library, and Northwestern University


The entire site is a treasure-trove of information on Chicago worth spending a good chunk of your morning on. I did.  I have bookmarked it as one of my favorite links. Reminds me..I haven't been to the Chicago History Museum in a number of years. I have got to get down there.
