Explore the birth of this regional and national treasure and its growth over the past seven decades with journalist and historian Douglas Deuchler, author of Oak Park in Vintage Postcards, Maywood, Berwyn, and Cicero Revisited, and Carla W. Owens, zoo archivist, manager of library services, and animal lover with a passion for history. Through more than 230 historic images of Brookfield Zoo, they uncover its origins--the land was originally a gift from Chicago socialite Edith Rockefeller McCormick in the 1920s and was later augmented with additional acres from the Forest Preserve District of Cook County--as well as its evolution into an internationally celebrated center for conservation, animal care, and environmental education.
