Scots of Chicago's North Shore

A look inside:

This book contains more than 200 images and a significant number of stories about the hundreds of Scots who settled in Lake Forest and Lake Bluff. The Keith family who helped found RKO Studios with Scots-born J.J. Murdock as president; the Scottish families who founded Carson, Pirie & Scott; the Douglas and Stuart families who ran Quaker Oats; Hugh Robertson who was president of the Zenith Corporation, and the Armour family who operated one of the largest meatpacking companies in the world. Thomas Wilson ran his own meatpacking business which later spun off Wilson Sporting Goods. This book tells the stories of these Scots and many others.
