American Experience Season 15 Episode 4

A three-part history based on historian Donald L. Miller’s book “City of the Century: The Epic of Chicago and the Making of America.” Part 2 covers the 1870s and ’80s, when the city’s can-do business leaders found themselves increasingly at odds with labor. The episode profiles meatpacker Augustus Swift; sleeping-car magnate George Pullman, who established what he hoped would become a utopian workers community; and merchant prince Marshall Field, who had no such notions. Then there were the anarchists.
