    “To Chicago and Back” is a travelogue book by the Bulgarian author Aleko Konstantinov describing his trip to the exposition. Very famous in Bulgaria, introducing America to us. Probably why the most Bulgarian immigrants still live in Chicago (based on the number of restaurants). There’s a bust of the author inside UChicago.

    I personally love walking the grounds when I visit, imagining what it must’ve been.
