1861-- Outgoing Mayor John Wentworth fired entire Chicago police department: 60 patrolmen, 3 sergeants, 3 lieutenants and 1 captain. Chicago was without police protection for 12 hours until the Board of Commissioners swore in new ones. Sounds like Chicago politics to me.
1863-- First hospital in Illinois opens, Chicago's Mercy Hospital.
Two More Years. --Old Secesh
