Abstract
The Chicagoan, a magazine that ran from 1926 to 1935, published writing, poetry, news, reviews, and artwork by some of the most prominent Chicagoans of the time. Despite the magazine having been published for almost a decade, it was lost to history. This thesis, written in a longform journalism format, attempts to recover the story of the magazine, and the story the magazine attempted to tell about the city.
