Gary proved to be no more immune to the woes of industrialization than any other American city, however. To some, in fact, it has come to epitomize all that is wrong with contemporary urban life. But as this book clearly shows, the people of Gary have refused to surrender their sense of hope, their dignity, and their pride to the prophesiers of doom. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt once scholarly and colorful, \u003ci\u003eCity of the Century\u003c\/i\u003e is an outgrowth of urban historian James B. Lane's popular weekly columns for the Gary \u003ci\u003ePost-Tribune.\u003c\/i\u003e Lane uses the oral testimony of the people of Gary to tell a fascinating story. There are episodes of personal tragedy and heroism here, of frustrated dreams and tarnished reputations, and of challenges met and obstacles overcome.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e James B.
