About the Book

The Birth of a Metropolis

True Founder of Chicago traces the origins of Chicago back to Jean Baptiste Pointe DuSable, a man who recognized the potential of the land at the Chicago River and Lake Michigan. His efforts as an entrepreneur and community leader laid the foundation for the city’s development.

This book explores how DuSable’s legacy was buried under layers of historical neglect. Through an engaging narrative, readers discover how his trading post connected Native tribes with European settlers, creating a community that flourished due to his leadership and vision.
