In Chicago; the Bears grip on the city spans generations and cultures; endures disappointments; and celebrates triumphs great and small. From the team’s humble beginnings to its status as a marquee NFL franchise; the Chicago Tribune has documented every season. The Chicago Tribune Book of the Chicago Bears is an impressive testament to Bears tradition; compiling photography; original box scores; and entertaining essays from Hall of Fame reporters.The Chicago Tribune Book of the Chicago Bears is a decade-by-decade look at the Chicago Bears; beginning with George Halas moving the team to Chicago in 1921. The Bears soon became known as the Monsters of the Midway; dominating the sport with four NFL titles in the 1940s; seven winning campaigns in the 1950s; and a final title with Halas as coach in 1963. Their 1985 Super Bowl championship transformed the city's passion into a full-blown love affair that continues today.Professional football was practically born in Chicago; nurtured by Halas through the Depression and a world war. The game was made for Chicago; in Chicago; by a Chicagoan. Now the award-winning journalists; photographers; and editors of the Chicago Tribune have produced a comprehensive collector’s item that every Bears fan will love.

1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Great Collection of LettersBy colinwoodwardA nice collection of letters written by a Mississippi officer during the Civil War. I've been doing research on the Confederate army; and these letters were very helpful. The editorial notes are copious and the letters themselves have great content. Anyone doing research on Civil War soldiers should check it out.
