While the exposition crew is being assembled, and Holmes seems on his way to Chicago infamy (By the way, his real name was Dr. H.W. Mudgett), a third story has started about a quiet, young man named Prendergast, who is a staunch supportor of the new Chicago mayor. On a whim, I googled his name and discovered something that (to finish this sentence, please turn to blog post # 6).
Anyway, The team that's designing the exposition now has Burnham, Frederick Law Olmstead, George Post, Henry van Brunt, Francis Millet, Col. Edmund Rice, Charles McKim and Ernest Graham.
The map of the exposition looks spectatular. Here's a good example:
