DESCRIPTION:In City Water\, City Life\, historian and author Carl Smith explores the development of the first successful waterworks systems in Philadelphia\, Boston\, and Chicago between the 1790s and the 1860s.

Smith is the Franklyn Bliss Snyder Professor of English & American Studies at Northwestern University. \nCost: $15 (free for PAFA members)
