Born just before the outbreak of the Spanish-American War, Con James Baker lived long enough to see men land on the moon. He saw firsthand the horrors of the First World War, thrived in Chicago during the Roaring Twenties, and in so doing, rubbed elbows with gangsters. Throughout those changing times, he maintained his desire for adventure and his sense of optimism about the future. This is his story.
