Hello,
Come join the Underwater Archaeological Society of Chicago at our upcoming meeting, next Wednesday, April 24th!
Our guest speaker, Benjamin Sells, will be presenting on his book, The Tunnel Under The Lake!
Hear the gripping story of how the young city of Chicago, under the leadership of an audacious engineer named Ellis Chesbrough, constructed a two-mile tunnel below Lake Michigan in search of clean water. When it opened in March 1867, observers, city planners, and grateful citizens hailed the tunnel as the "wonder of America and of the world."
Benjamin Sells is a writer and sailing captain who owns and operates one of Chicago's oldest sailing schools. He was a syndicated columnist and has written many articles and books on law and psychology, including The Soul of the Law, which was recently reissued in a twentieth-anniversary edition by the American Bar Association, as well as Order in the Court: Crafting a More Just World in Lawless Times (1999) and The Essentials of Style: A Handbook for Seeing and Being Seen (2007). Sells is also the President of the Village of Riverside."
See you there,
Colin Bertling
