'Chicago', 1874. Views of Lake Michigan and the city of Chicago, Illinois, USA: 'The City from the Water Works; Mouth of Chicago River'. 'Chicago is situated on the west shore of Lake Michigan...at the mouth of a bayou, or river. The site of the business portion is fourteen feet above the level of the lake...It is divided into three parts by a bayou, called the Chicago River, which extends from the lake-shore about five-eighths of a mile, then divides into two branches, running north and south, nearly parallel with the lake, about two miles in each direction. The river and its branches, with numerous slips, give a water-frontage, not including the lake-front, of thirty-eight miles'. From "Picturesque America; or, The Land We Live In, A Delineation by Pen and Pencil of the Mountains, Rivers, Lakes...with Illustrations on Steel and Wood by Eminent American Artists" Vol. II, edited by William Cullen Bryant.
