 Chicago
is home to the greatest working drawbridge
collection on earth, and has been called the
drawbridge capital of the world. Patrick
McBriarty, author of the award-winning book,
Chicago River Bridges, will talk about the
historical, architectural, and engineering
significance of the bridges, and tell stories about
the bridge-perils of flood, fire, cattle rampages,
bridge jumpers, and squatters.
Mr. McBriarty will have copies of his book, which
won the Henry N. Barkhausen Award from the
Association for Great Lakes Maritime History in
2013, available for signing and sale.

About
the Cigar Society of Chicago
ONE OF THE OLDEST AND greatest
traditions of the city clubs of Chicago is the discussion of
intellectual, social, legal, artistic, historical, scientific,
musical, theatrical, and philosophical issues in the company of
educated, bright, and appropriately provocative individuals, all
under the beneficent influence of substantial amounts of tobacco
and spirits. The
Cigar Society of Chicago embraces this tradition and
extends it with its Informal Smokers,
University Series lectures, and Cigar Society Dinners,
in which cigars, and from time to time pipes and cigarettes,
appear as an important component of our version of the classical
symposium. To be included in the Cigar Society's
mailing list, write to the Secretary at
curtis.tuckey@logicophilosophicus.org.
