Besides the green Theodore Wirth book Annie Young mentioned, which covers Park Board history up to the mid-1940s and has a street value of several hundred dollars, there's a more recent Park Board history book. It is more oriented to the political history of the postwar Park Board. I believe the author's name is Wright. It exists only as an unpublished manuscript. The only copy I've encountered is in the City Hall Municipal Information Library. I'm told that the Park Board some years back declined to publish it after commissioning it. It would cover some of the events Ed Gearty would have described. Al Wittman, the former assistant superintendent for planning, is working on the new book Annie Young describes.
