Henry Folks Record Chicago Trip And Local Notables
An eyewitness recounts a night train journey from Henry to Chicago aboard the C B P and L line at 30 mph, praising the cars and comfort. In Chicago the party stays at Briggs House, notes locals like Nickcard, Suntoon, and Jeff Durley, and visits Baker Camp and Ossian Doyle. They meet grain inspector W. M. Parker, learn about trains and dispatching, and observe business in a city quieted by the panic, with remarks on theater and rail operations.
