About the Author

Lake Forest residents Susan L. Kelsey and Arthur H. Miller last worked together on Images of America: West Lake Forest (2012), the inspiration for new interest in the former prairie community west of the 1850s lakefront elite Chicago suburban retreat. This surge has culminated in a 2014-2015 Lake Forest-Lake Bluff Historical Society exhibit, West Side Stories. Other Arcadia titles, written with Shirley M. Paddock, include Then & Now: Downtown Lake Forest (2009) and Images of America: Lake Forest: Estates, People, and Culture (2000).
