Marshall Field's Incredible Impact on Chicago by Rebecca V. Larkin

Have you ever wondered who the real Marshall Field was? He was one of the richest men in the country, and he did more to make Chicago a world class city than nearly any other individual.

In this unique presentation, we understand the influence of the man behind the store and the challenges he faced. This video was produced for the National History Fair and was selected as a finalist in the State competition.

Marshall Field may mean Department Store, but the man behind the store had more to do with making Chicago a world class city than almost anyone else. From the store to the steel mills to Chicago's L to the Field Museum, Art Institute, Shedd Aquarium, Millennium Park, and financial district.

Marshall Field V generously granted an exclusive interview in which he discussed his great, great grandfather.
