1812
Chicago: A
scalping, a
murder, and a
massacre
Chicago
author and historian
Patrick McBriarty,
who two years ago
gave us an excellent
presentation on
Chicago river
bridges,
returns to
give us a close look
at five months
events and intrigue
at the remote
military and trading
outpost of Chicagou
in 1812.
The story centers on
John Kinzie, a
leading trader
embroiled in
preserving his
family and his
business amidst the
Indians, the
British, and upstart
Americans in these
short months leading
up to the outbreak
of the war.

Lounge at Iwan Ries.

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,
