ABOUT THIS: Published here for the first time, Francis O'Neill's remarkable memoir of immigration and assimilation provides a rare view of urban life in Chicago at the turn of the twentieth century. Including many rare photographs and other images from O'Neill's life, his recollections bring to light the promise and the challenge of succeeding in a new land. In 1865, Francis O'Neill left Ireland to travel the world as a sailor. He settled in Chicago shortly before the Great Fire of 1871 and began what was to become an adventurous and distinguished life in America. After years as a member of the Chicago Police Department, O'Neill, writing at the age of eighty-three, offers perspective on the inner workings of the police department during his time giving first-hand accounts of the Pullman Strike of 1894, the City Railway strike of 1903, and the packinghouse strike of 1904. He also reflects on the prejudice that kept him in spite of his innovations, extremely high exam scores, and exceptional performance subject to powerful aldermen who tried to prevent his professional advancement. Despite these obstacles, O'Neill eventually rose to become chief of police a position from which he could enact much-needed civil-service reform. O'Neill is also remembered and beloved for his devotion to the preservation of traditional Irish music and for his collection of books from around the world. Codice articolo ABE-1702674991502
