Introduction Jonathan Ogden Armour could not abide socialist agi- tators. It was 1906, and Upton Sinclair had just published The Jungle, his explosive novel about the American meatpacking industry. Based on two years of research and six weeks of under- cover reporting, Sinclair’s book was the arresting tale of an immi- grant family’s toil in Chicago’s slaughterhouses.1 Unfortunately for Armour, The Jungle was not his only concern. A year before, muck- raking journalist Charles Edward Russell’s The Greatest Trust in the World attacked a packing industry that comes to the American dining table “three times a day . and extorts its tribute.”2 In response to these attacks, Armour, head of the enormous meatpacking firm Armour & Company, took to the Saturday Evening Post to defend himself and his industry. Where critics saw filth, corruption, and exploitation, Armour saw clean- liness, fairness, and efficiency. If not for “the professional agitators of the country,” the nation would be free to enjoy an abundance of delicious and affordable meat.3 Armour and his critics could agree on this much: they lived in a world unimaginable fifty years before. In 1860, most cattle lived, died, and were consumed within a few hundred miles’ radius. By 1906, an animal could be born in Texas, slaughtered 1 For general queries, contact [email protected] © Copyright, Princeton University Press.

    Title: Plankinton Family Papers Reference Code: Mss-1084 Inclusive Dates: 1844-2009 Quantity: 31.1 cu. ft. total Location: CV, Sh. 343, 359-362 (14.4 cu. ft.) BV, Sh. 123 (1.3 cu. ft.) BV, Sh. 346-347, 353-354 (7.6 cu. ft.) WHS D102-D104 (7.4 cu. ft.) RC16, Sh. 007-008 (0.4 cu. ft.) OS LG “P” (15 items) Abstract: The Plankintons were among Milwaukee’s most prominent business and civic families. John Plankinton (1820-1891)—through partnerships with Frederick Layton, Philip Armour, and Patrick Cudahy—prospered as one of the state’s earliest meat packers. He also built the Plankinton House Hotel. His son, William (1844-1905) became a partner in the family business, but after his father’s death, he focused his energies on managing the family estate and his work with several business enterprises, such as the Johnson Electric Service Company. After William passed away, management of the Plankinton Arcade and family estate fell to his son William Woods Plankinton (d. 1927), William Woods Plankinton, Jr. (1906-1965), and Elisabeth Plankinton Mackintosh (1910-2009). The entire Plankinton family—including William’s wife, Ella Woods, and John’s daughter, Elizabeth—was tremendously philanthropic. Elizabeth, for example, donated numerous gifts to the city including the George Washington statue on W. Wisconsin Avenue. Scope and Content: The collection consists of ledgers, photographs, correspondence, minutes, newspaper clippings, estate-related documents and other ephemera that documents the lives of various members of the Plankinton family as well as the Plankinton House/Hotel and the Plankinton estate.

Casalino, P.E., Commissioner Machinery Hall Main Building The Main Building and Machinery Hall of the Illinois Institute of Technology flank W. 33rd St., next to a railroad embankment and nearby Dan Ryan Expressway, in the South-Side Douglas neighborhood. The Commission on Chicago Landmarks, whose nine members are appointed by the Mayor, was established in 1968 by city ordinance. The Commission is responsible for recommending to the City Council which individual buildings, sites, objects, or districts should be designated as Chicago Land- marks, which protects them by law. The landmark designation process begins with a staff study and a preliminary summary of information related to the potential designation criteria. The next step is a preliminary vote by the landmarks commission as to whether the proposed landmark is worthy of consideration. This vote not only initiates the formal designation process, but it places the review of city permits for the property under the jurisdiction of the Commission until a final landmark recommendation is acted on by the City Council. This Landmark Designation Report is subject to possible revision and amendment during the designation process. Only language contained within the designation ordinance adopted by the City Council should be regarded as final.

In a series of slow dissolves, the horizon east of South Shore Park comes alive with the colors of sunrise. As sun clears the horizon, camera slows to real time and pulls back to show the urban lakefront. Host starts talking and walks into the frame. It starts here, of course, where the lake meets the land. Our story dawns beside one of the largest bodies of fresh water on earth. Today Lake Michigan is weather and drinking water, a place to fish and a place to sail, but it’s much more than that. Lake Michigan is why Milwaukee’s here. It was on this shore of an inland sea, where a deep river enters a broad bay, that a city was born. Pan north across bay to downtown and hold. Wave sounds continue. It would be a city known for beer and bubblers, for smokestacks and steeples, for Socialist mayors and major industries. But that’s not how Milwaukee began. Wave sounds up. Indian drumbeats begin. As each wave breaks, a layer of urban features is washed away, and the scene morphs to an early-morning view of a broad beach bordered by forest in deep winter.
