The Devil in the White City 2003-02-11T00:00:00Z He was bothered, too, by the noise of the few steam vessels that Burnham, over his repeated objections, had authorized to travel the exposition’s waters alongside the electric launches.

The Devil in the White City 2003-02-11T00:00:00Z Above all he wanted the exposition landscape to produce an aura of “mysterious poetic effect.” The Devil in the White City 2003-02-11T00:00:00Z The railroads had made it known early and forcefully that they had no plans to discount their Chicago fares for the exposition. The Devil in the White City 2003-02-11T00:00:00Z “And now,” Miss Spink said, “Miriam and I proudly present a new and exciting addendum to our theatrical exposition. Do I see a volunteer?” Coraline 2002-02-24T00:00:00Z Only after the exposition had Burnham and his colleagues learned of the anguished letters describing daughters who had come to the city and then fallen silent.

One Hundred Years of Solitude 1967-05-30T00:00:00Z The sky seemed to reach into the exposition, and somewhere glass shattered, not the gentle tinkling of a window extinguished by a stone but the hurt-dog yelp of large sheets falling to the ground.

The Devil in the White City 2003-02-11T00:00:00Z In Paris on the Champ de Mars, France opened the Exposition Universelle, a world’s fair so big and glamorous and so exotic that visitors came away believing no exposition could surpass it. The Devil in the White City 2003-02-11T00:00:00Z And indeed soon afterward the fair’s Grounds and Buildings Committee authorized him to invite the men to join the exposition. The Devil in the White City 2003-02-11T00:00:00Z The exposition, if built right—if it topped Paris—might dispel that sentiment once and for all. The Devil in the White City 2003-02-11T00:00:00Z After asserting that “the architects of America had covered themselves with glory” through their exposition designs, Burnham rebuked the nation’s civil engineers for failing to rise to the same level of brilliance. The Devil in the White City 2003-02-11T00:00:00Z Some that night worked on a small notice announcing the opening of a new hotel, clearly another hastily built affair meant to capitalize on the expected crush of exposition visitors. The Devil in the White City 2003-02-11T00:00:00Z A new cereal, Shredded Wheat, seemed unlikely to succeed—“shredded doormat,” some called it—but a new beer did well, winning the exposition’s top beer award.

The Devil in the White City 2003-02-11T00:00:00Z The exposition work was still far behind schedule and a major source of worry, but Olmsted’s health and the pressure of other work had forced him from Chicago. The Devil in the White City 2003-02-11T00:00:00Z That he spent a good deal of time asserting his own vision of the exposition’s landscape is also beyond doubt, especially his belief that the Wooded Island should remain entirely free of conspicuous man-made structures.
